STORAGE:  2-8 C in the dark.

IMPORTANT: Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. These products contain <0.05% (w/w) azide which with repeated contact with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the buildup of shock sensitive compounds. Dispose in accordance with regulations from your institute.

Description:

Insulin (Accession P01321), a peptide hormone composed of 51 amino acids is produced in the pancreas by beta cells. It is considered the primary anabolic hormone as its production is stimulated by the introduction of glucose. Insulin, first synthesized as prepoinsulin, undergoes maturation by activation of carboxypeptidase E and prohormone convertases. Mature insulin then awaits exocytosis from pancreatic cells. Insulin is largely regulated by transcription factors PDX1, NeuroD1, and MafA. Along with IGF-I and IGF-II, Insulin produced in the brain has links to Alzheimer’s disease. Diseases associated with irregular insulin production include Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, insulinoma, metabolic syndrome, and polycystic ovary syndrome.
