Active Recombinant Human INS, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: INS-88H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human INS(Phe25-Asn110), fused with an N-terminal Met, 6-His tag and Lys, was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 25-110 a.a.
• Description: After removal of the precursor signal peptide, proinsulin is post-translationally cleaved into three peptides: the B chain and A chain peptides, which are covalently linked via two disulfide bonds to form insulin, and C-peptide. Binding of insulin to the insulin receptor (INSR) stimulates glucose uptake. A multitude of mutant alleles with phenotypic effects have been identified. There is a read-through gene, INS-IGF2, which overlaps with this gene at the 5'' region and with the IGF2 gene at the 3'' region. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
