Answer 2

The pro-insulin differs from the active form of insulin by an extra stretch called the C-peptide.

Explanation:

• This C-peptide is not present in the mature insulin and is removed during maturation into insulin.
• When insulin is released into the bloodstream to help transport glucose into the body's cells (to be used for energy), equal amounts of C-peptide also are released.
• This makes C-peptide useful as a marker of insulin production. High levels of pro insulin have also been linked to heart and artery disease.
• Your healthcare provider may want to watch you for heart disease if your pro insulin levels are high.
• You may also have this test if your healthcare provider suspects you have hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar.
