Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention describes the identification of numerous genes, both known and unknown, that play an important role in the ability of cell to respond to glucose stimulation under physiologic conditions. These genes may be used to enhance, stabilize or introduce glucose-responsiveness in a host cell, in particular, a host cell that secretes insulin. In addition, these genes may be used as targets for drug screening and as diagnostic indicators for the loss of glucose-responsiveness.
