SUMMARY: Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets encoded in humans by the INS gene. Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver (UniProtKb_P01308). Recombinant Human Insulin is a commonly used media supplement in mammalian cell culture.
