Recombinant Human Insulin Protein
Description
After the signal peptide is removed, proinsulin undergoes post-translational cleavage to produce three peptides: the B chain and A chain peptides. These two peptides are then connected through two disulfide bonds to form insulin, along with the production of C-peptide. The interaction between insulin and the insulin receptor (INSR) triggers glucose uptake.
