Description

Insulin-1 precursor [Contains: Insulin-1 B chain; Insulin-1 A chain].

Source Organism

Mus musculus (Mouse).

Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Sciurognathi;Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted.

Developmental Stage

Similarity

Belongs to the insulin family.

Post translational Modification

Function

Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver
