What else can I help you with?
Why dont skin cells make insulin?
because the gene to make insulin isn't expressed
Do skin cells copy and translate an insulin gene into insulin protein?
Insulin is not produced by skin cells.
What would be least likely to happen as a result of a mutation in a person's skin cells?
A mutation in a person's skin cells would be least likely to impact their ability to produce insulin as insulin is primarily produced by pancreatic cells. Skin cells are not directly involved in insulin production or regulation.
Why do skin cells not produce insulin?
because they haven't got the right genes
Why don't white blood cells make insulin?
Insulin is made in the pancreas, not by blood cells. They have other jobs to do.
What cells have in common?
they make skin
What function are specialized pancreas cells performing when they make insulin?
Specialized pancreas cells, called beta cells, produce and release insulin. Insulin plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose from the blood into cells for energy utilization or storage.
Which are the insulin independent cells?
Insulin-independent cells are primarily muscle cells and nervous system cells. These cells do not rely on insulin to take up glucose for energy. Instead, they have insulin-independent glucose transporters that allow them to take in glucose from the bloodstream without the need for insulin.
Insulin formed by the Golgi apparatus in insulin-producing cells leaves those cells by?
Insulin formed by the Golgi apparatus in insulin-producing cells leaves those cells by exocytosis. This process involves the insulin-containing vesicles fusing with the cell membrane and releasing insulin into the bloodstream.
What blood glucose lowering hormone is produced by the pancreatic islet cells?
The pancreas produces a variety of hormones, two being insulin and glucagon, these hormones are produced by groups of cells called the islets of langerhans.
What does the beta cells of the pancreas produce?
The beta cells of the pancreas produce insulin and C-peptide, a byproduct of insulin. Source: Wikipedia
When exogenous DNA is used to make insulin which type of cell produces the insulin?
Bacterial cells are commonly used in biotechnology to produce insulin using exogenous DNA. The exogenous DNA encoding for human insulin is introduced into the bacterial cells, which then serve as a host to produce the insulin protein through the process of genetic engineering.
