The increased presence of Inceptor in beta cells suggests that the receptor plays a role in insulin secretion, which is regulated by beta cells.

"We already see that they play a role in protein secretion, which has major implications for physiology, and it suggests a path forward to study hundreds of other snoRNAs."
