Product Information

• Name: Insulin Los Angeles, human
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Insulin is a peptide hormone that regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Insulin has been shown to bind to insulin receptors in the cell membrane. When insulin binds to the receptor, it triggers a series of biochemical reactions that lead to increased glucose uptake by cells and increased synthesis of glycogen in the liver. Insulin also activates ion channels, which leads to an increase in calcium influx into cells. Insulin is involved in many other functions within the body, such as promoting growth and development, regulating protein synthesis, and controlling lipid storage.Insulin is used as a research tool for studying carbohydrate metabolism or as an antidiabetic drug for people who have diabetes mellitus. The most common form of insulin used today is human recombinant insulin (H-insulin). Human recombinant insulin can be synthesized from genetically engineered bacteria or yeast cultures.
