Biological Activity

[Description]:

Insulin(human) is a peptide hormone that regulates the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood and that is produced by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets.

Peptides

[In Vitro]

The human insulin gene contains two intervening sequences, one is within the region transcribed into the 5'-untranslated segment of the mRNA and the other interrupts the C-peptide encoding region[1]. Human insulin is commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes[2].
