Insulin is a peptide hormone that controls carbohydrate metabolism and storage in the human body[1][2]. It is secreted by specialized cells in the pancreas, enters the bloodstream and reaches other cells. There, it binds to the extracellular side of the insulin receptor, triggering tyrosine kinase activity within the target cell, which in turn regulates glucose uptake, metabolism and storage.

Function

Insulin, together with glucagon, regulates blood sugar levels by changing fuel metabolism in all cells [3] within minutes and hours. The presence of insulin in the blood signals the well-fed stage, while the presence of glucagon signals the fasting stage. [1]

  1. Biosynthesis

"The pancreas of a normal adult contains approximately 200 units of insulin, and the average daily secretion of insulin into the circulation in healthy individuals ranges from 30 to 50 units. https://www.britannica.com/science/insulin" 1 IU = 0.0347 mg

The body is able to sense the concentration of glucose in the blood and respond by secreting insulin, which is produced by beta cells in the pancreas. Insulin then binds to the insulin receptor, changing its conformation [9]. Depending on cell type and the presence of other signals (glucogon, epinephrine), the cell will modify its metabolism.

Disease and Treatment

In patients with diabetes, insulin signalling is compromised[10].

Type I: Insulin is not produced


Type II: Insulin is produced, but receptor does not trigger signal: [11]

[12]

Synthesis of human insulin in E. coli is important to producing insulin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. It is believed that the hydrophobic sections on the B-chain cause insulin aggregation which initially caused problems in the manufacture and storage of insulin for pharmaceutical use.
