Hey
Your answer is here>>>

Proinsulin is the prohormone precursor to insulin made in the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans, specialized regions of the pancreas. l Additionally, while proinsulin and insulin have structural differences,proinsulin does demonstrate some affinity for the insulin receptor.

 insulin is the hormone in our body that allows glucose (sugar) to get into the cells of our body that need glucose for energy. Produced in the pancreas, insulin is considered the “most powerful” hormone in the body.

Every living mammal needs insulin to survive. Humans, cats, dogs, pigs, cows, and even dolphins all need in insulin in order to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Without enough insulin, your blood sugar can rise to dangerously high levels.

Proinsulin is a protein molecule that serves as a precursor hormone, or prohormone, to insulin. Insulin is produced by the beta cells, which are pancreatic cells located in the islets of Langerhans, specifically through the cleavage of proinsulin by enzymes called protease. This cleavage process is important because measurement of the cleavage products can help doctors predict the actual amount of insulin production by the pancreas.

Now u can easily differentiate between them

hope this helps you....!!
