Here, we present a comprehensive study in β-cell lines and primary islets that demonstrates that, following GLP-1RA stimulation, GLP-1R-positive endosomes associate with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane contact site (MCS) tether VAPB at ER-mitochondria MCSs (ERMCSs), where active GLP-1R engages with SPHKAP, an A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP) previously linked to T2D and adiposity risk in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). This evidence concerns the gene GLP1R and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
