FAM3 proteins are four helix bundle cytokines with four conserved cysteines in all members (FAM3A-D). FAM3B (also known as PANDER, for pancreatic derived factor) is highly expressed in alpha and beta cells of the pancreas and is being investigated as a potential contributor to beta cell death and development of type I diabetes.
