Informations sur le produit

• Nom: Insulin (Human)
• Marque: Biosynth
• Description: Human insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells in the pancreas. The insulin receptor is found on the surface of liver, fat, and muscle cells. When binding to its receptor, insulin opens ion channels allowing potassium ions to flow into the cell and sodium ions to flow out of the cell. This change in ion concentration causes an electrical potential across the membrane that triggers an influx of calcium ions from outside the cell. These changes result in an increase in glucose uptake by tissues and inhibition of glucose production by the liver. Insulin also binds to a secondary receptor called IGF-1R (insulin-like growth factor) which activates intracellular signaling pathways involving PI3K and Akt kinase. Insulin can be used as a research tool for studying protein-protein interactions or as a pharmacological agent for diabetes treatment. This product is enzymatically derived from Porcine Insulin A-chain, available as a 0.5mg vial and contains disulfide bonds between CysA6-CysA11,CysA7-CysB7, and CysA20-CysB19.
