Difference between proinsulin and mature insulin
Explanation:
- Proinsulin : It is a protein molecule that serves as a precursor hormone, or pro hormone, 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.
- Insulin : It 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.
