<scene name='61/611452/Proinsulin/2'>Proinsulin</scene> is the precursor of insulin. It is produced by the pancreas and then converted into <scene name='61/611452/All_atom/12'>insulin</scene>. It can bind to the insulin receptor and exhibits 5% to 10% of the metabolic activity of insulin. A high concentration of proinsulin in the blood can be a warning sign of islet cell tumors. | <scene name='61/611452/Proinsulin/2'>Proinsulin</scene> is the precursor of insulin.
