cellular
• locus is maternally imprinted with no gene expression detectable in mice that have paternally inherited the mutant allele

endocrine/exocrine glands
• mice inheriting the allele paternally exhibit impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion
• mice with the paternally inherited allele do not show a normal hyperinsulinemic response to Western diet exposure, with persistence of the defect in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion seen on chow diet
• pancreatic beta cells from mice with the paternally inherited allele show a 2-fold increase in insulin secretion with high glucose compared to 7.2-fold increase by wild-type cells

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice inheriting the allele paternally exhibit impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion
• mice with the paternally inherited allele do not show a normal hyperinsulinemic response to Western diet exposure, with persistence of the defect in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion seen on chow diet
• pancreatic beta cells from mice with the paternally inherited allele show a 2-fold increase in insulin secretion with high glucose compared to 7.2-fold increase by wild-type cells
• fasting blood glucose progressively increases in mice that inherit the paternal allele during exposure to Western diet
• progressive deterioration of glucose tolerance is seen over 12 weeks in males with the paternal allele on the Western diet
• however, glucose tolerance is unaffected in chow-fed mice with the paternal allele
• however, no differences in body weight or insulin sensitivity are seen on the Western diet in mice with the paternally inherited allele, suggesting a decline in beta cell function

• when fed a high fat diet, mice show no differences in beta cell mass or in glucose tolerance and insulin secretion following intraperitoneal glucose injections relative to similarly treated control mice

endocrine/exocrine glands
• primary pancreatic islet cells exhibit reduced sensitivity to cytokines- or palmitic acid-induced apoptosis, as measured by a TUNEL assay
• islets show increased expression of the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl2, Bcl2l1 (Bcl-xL), as well as increased expression and phosphorylation of Bad, which inhibits its pro-apoptotic activity

normal phenotype
• mice are overtly normal and exhibit normal growth rates and intraperitoneal and oral glucose tolerance with no differences in glucose-induced Ca2+ dynamics or insulin secretion in isolated islets relative to control mice
• mutant islets show normal glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-induced Ca2+ dynamics and insulin secretion, with a similar increase in GLP-1-induced Ca2+ oscillation frequency during moderate glucose stimulation relative to control islets
