Abstract Here we investigate the role of Cab45 in β-cell function and insulin secretory granule (ISG) biogenesis. Cab45 has been known as a ubiquitously expressed, soluble, trans-Golgi network (TGN) resident protein. We demonstrate its expression in pancreatic islets but not exocrine tissue, and localization in both Golgi and granular/vesicular compartments of primary β-cells. In INS1 cells, Cab45 is held in the cis-Golgi by a calcium-dependent mechanism but is capable of anterograde trafficking beyond the TGN. ISG biogenesis is maintained in Cab45 knockout INS1 cells which exhibit insulin hypersecretion due to dysregulated calcium homeostasis, leading to ISG depletion that is reinstated by rest at low glucose or Cab45 overexpression. Overexpressed Cab45 traffics directly into ISGs and increases biogenesis. Expression of a Cab45 variant that cannot bind calcium drives superior ISG rescue and has reduced ISG residency. In humans, anterograde Cab45 trafficking increases with worsening obesity, suggesting recruitment to drive cargo transit and support secretory output. Humans with type 2 diabetes, however, contain a greater proportion of Cab45-occupied ISGs and a loss of Golgi-localized Cab45 compared to non-diabetics. These insights position Cab45 as an exciting candidate for further investigation into mechanisms associated with β-cell compensation and failure.
