Highly efficient insulin secretion by PDIA6 assembly. Difference in insulin production with and without PDIA6 assembly: When PDIA6 assembles in the cell, a large amount of insulin is produced. On the other hand, when only dispersed PDIA6 is present, misfolded insulin is accumulated, resulting in low efficiency of insulin production.
