Abstract
Jesinkey et al. report that mitochondrial GTP (mtGTP) is an integrative nutrient sentinel regulating β cell function. Signaling from mtGTP raises calcium independent of oxidative phosphorylation to promote insulin secretion. Without overworking the β cell, mtGTP cycling potentiates insulin secretion, nutrient sensing, and mitochondrial expansion alongside promoting health and increasing insulin reserves.
