A molecular model of insulin,a peptide hormone produced in the pancreas by beta cells in the islets of Langerhans. Insulin is responsible for regulating the body's metabolism when blood glucose levels have risen after a meal,and will signal cells to increase their uptake and storage of glucose. Insulin is produced and stored in the body as a hexamer,and will be converted to a monomer once activated | |
