Where in the human body would you find the glands that secrets insulin?
sugar/glucosePancreas is the structure in the human body that is the usual source of insulin
What do resting nucleated human cells contain?
insulin
World's first genetically engineered pharmaceutical product?
Human Insulin Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
E. coli that contains the genes for human insulin is?
E. coli that contains the gene for human insulin is genetically engineered, transgenic, and a GMO. Bacteria have been engineered to produce chymotrypsin, make human insulin, produce enzymes that increase shelf life of bread, and to produce enzymes that improve the taste and clarity of beer.
Which drug is manufactured as a result of indirect gene therapy?
Human insulin
Which best describes a scientist found the human gene that makes insulin?
They worked backwards from mRNA to DNA.
Which best describes how scientists found the human gene that makes insulin?
They figured out the DNA sequence from the amino acid sequence
What is the difference between human and analog insulin?
Human Insulin, is a replica of the insulin found naturally in human beings. These are synthetically prepared. An insulin analogue however is an altered form of this human insulin, by addition,subsitution or substraction of one/or more amino acid chain/s. This is done to make insulin more safe and effective for human use.
Which best describes how scientists the human gene that makes insulin?
They figured out the DNA sequence from the amino acid sequence
Which statement best describes human insulin that is produced by by genetically engineered bacteria?
Genetically engineered insulin may have fewer side effects than the insulin previously extracted from the pancreases of other animals. This is because genetic engineering inserts human genes such as the gene for insulin production into the DNA of bacteria. As a result, the bacteria that produces human insulin, when used by diabetics, should produce fewer side effects.
Why is human insulin preferable to animal insulin?
-Human insulin does not cost as much as pig/animal insulin -Human insulin does not result in allergic reactions, such of insulin of an animal.
What is the process of making human insulin with bacteria?
Human insulin is made with bacteria through recombinant DNA. It introduces a copy of human insulin DNA to a host cell, which then produces human insulin.
Is the insulin made by E.coli better or worse than insulin made by human?
The insulin that we engineer bacteria to make (E.colidoes not naturally make insulin) is identical to human insulin.
Is diabetes insulin made in a pig cow human or bacteria?
Diabetes insulin is found in all four subjects. However, recombinant bacteria are primarily used as a main source of insulin for diabetic subjects.
Is there pig pee in the insulin?
No . . . human insulin is made from pig insulin, quite often.
Why is cow insulin a good substitue for human insulin?
Insulin from pigs or cows can cause immune reactions in some people, or people may develop an allergy to the insulin over time and it will be ineffective. Human insulin is not immunogenic and so is preferred.
Does human insulin come from a human or an animal?
Humans, who are not diabetic, make the insulin they need within their own bodies.
