GIPR signaling in pancreatic beta cells promotes beta cell survival and function through a cAMP-independent, ERK-dependent pathway that upregulates TCF1 (encoded by Tcf7). Loss of beta-cell GIPR reduces TCF7 expression, impairs cytoprotective GIP responses, and enhances apoptosis. GLP-1 does not activate this TCF1 pathway. |
