Specifications
SKU | 02193900-CF |
Alternate Names | Insulin sodium salt human; rh-Insulin |
Application Notes | Methods for immobilizing insulin on polystyrene dishes have been reported for applications involving protein-free cell cultures. |
Base Catalog Number | 193900 |
Biochemical Physiological Actions | Two-chain polypeptide hormone produced by the ß-cells of pancreatic islets. Its molecular weight is ~5800 Da. The a and ß chains are joined by two interchain disulfide bonds. The a chain contains an intrachain disulfide bond. Insulin regulates the cellular uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids and inhibits the breakdown of glycogen, protein, and fat. |
