Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) functions as a glucose-regulating hormone but deposits as amyloid fibrils in more than 90% of patients with type II diabetes (T2D). Here we report the cryo-EM structure of recombinant full-length hIAPP fibrils. The fibril is composed of two symmetrically related protofilaments with ordered residues 14-37. Our hIAPP fibril structure (i) supports the previous hypothesis that residues 20-29 constitute the core of the hIAPP amyloid; (ii) suggests a molecular m  ...[more]
