[edit] Subcellular Localization

Secreted.

[edit] Developmental Stage

[edit] Similarity

Belongs to the insulin family.

[edit] Post translational Modification

[edit] 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
