N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common and abundant mRNA modification that involves regulating the RNA metabolism. However, the role of m6A in regulating the β-cell function is unclear. Methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) is a key component of the m6A methyltransferase complex. To define the role of m6A in regulating the β-cell function, we generated β-cell METTL14-specific knockout (βKO) mice by tamoxifen administration. Acute deletion of Mettl14 in β-cells results in glucose intolerance a ...[more]
