Insulin Human (20-110)

The Insulin Human is created as a recombinant protein with a 4kda N-terminal fusion of His Tag. The Insulin His-Tagged Fusion Protein, produced in E. coli, is a 13kDa protein containing 91 amino acid residues of the Insulin Human, 20-110 amino acids.

Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Each mg was lyophilized with 1xPBS, 0.4% SDS and 4mM DTT.

It is recommended to add deionized water to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 0.5mg/ml and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. Product is not sterile! Please filter the product by an appropriate sterile filter before using it on cell culture.

Store lyophilized Insulin at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C.

Insulin participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats by regulating glucose homeostasis in the body. Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. Insulin hormone facilitates the uptake of glucose into cells, mainly in muscle and fat tissues, and stimulates the liver to store glucose as glycogen. Insulin also inhibits the production of gluconeogenesis and promotes the synthesis of proteins and lipids. Insulin increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, fatty acids and amino acids. Insulin accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle and glycogen synthesis in liver.
