Amylin is extremely conserved among species to maintain proper structure and function. Some of the main conserved residues are Lysine 1, Cysteine 2, Alanine 5, Threonine 6, and Cysteine 7. These conserved residues exhibit extensive hydrogen bonding networks between other residues or surrounding water molecules. There is also a disulfide bond between C2 and C7 that is conserved across almost every species. This disulfide causes the N-terminus of amylin to wrap around. | Amylin is extremely conserved among species to maintain proper structure and function.
