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 ...
