2009年8月9日 · Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
Insulin | Definition, Structure, & Function | Britannica
2024年11月19日 · Insulin is a protein composed of two chains, an A chain (with 21 amino acids) and a B chain (with 30 amino acids), which are linked together by sulfur atoms. Insulin is derived from a 74-amino-acid prohormone molecule called proinsulin. Proinsulin is relatively inactive, and under normal conditions only a small amount of it is secreted.

In the insulin model, chain A has 21 amino acids (colored green) and chain B has 30 amino acids (colored blue). Note the three disulfide-bridges holding the two chains together, colored yellow, green and orange. Use this PDF to build a paper model of Insulin.
The insulin molecule consists of two peptides, termed A for acidic and B for basic, with a total molecular weight of approximately 6000. The two chains are joined by two disulfide linkages with a third disulfide bond being inter- nal to the A chain.
