Dysfunction in insulin secretion is a main driver of type 2 diabetes development. Here the authors monitor phosphoproteome modulation in cells stimulated with glucose and treated with drugs affecting glucose-mediated insulin secretion to reveal phosphorylation sites implicated in insulin secretion control and gene expression regulation.
