Figure 3 A role of incretin signaling in pancreatic β-cells.
Incretins (GLP-1 and GIP) bind their incretin receptors (GLP-1 and GIP receptors) in β-cells and increase intracellular cAMP levels, leading to stimulation of insulin secretion, suppression of β-cell apoptosis and increase of β-cell growth.
