Introduction
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.
Description
Insulin Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 109 amino acids (25-110 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 11.8kDa. Insulin is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
