What else can I help you with?
Is insulin a carbohydrate?
No, Insulin is a protein because it is.
Is inulin bad for you?
No. Insulin is a natural body chemical produced by your pancreas, necessary for processing the sugar in your bloodstream. Not only is insulin good for you, it's one of the safest things you can inject into your body, if needed.
Is insulin a tertiary protein structure?
The active form of insulin, in the body, is a tertiary protein structure. However, when stored in the body, several insulin molecules are bound together in a hexamer (a six-protein quaternary structure).
What is the chemical formula for insulin?
The chemical formula of insulin is C256H381N65O79S6
Why insulin does not take oraly?
Insulin is a protein. If taken orall, it will be digested.
Is insulin lipid or water soluble?
No it is not a lipid. Insulin is made up of proteins. It cannot be injected orally.
Do skin cells copy and translate an insulin gene into insulin protein?
Insulin is not produced by skin cells.
What is a protein that acts as hormone?
Insulin
Does eating protein raise insulin levels?
Yes, eating protein can raise insulin levels, although typically to a lesser extent than carbohydrates. When protein is consumed, it stimulates the release of insulin to help facilitate the uptake of amino acids into cells. The insulin response to protein varies based on the type and amount of protein consumed, as well as individual metabolic factors. Overall, while protein does influence insulin secretion, its effect is generally more moderate compared to that of carbohydrates.
What type of compound insulin is?
Insulin is a protein
What was the first protein to be sequenced?
The first protein to be sequenced was insulin in 1955 by Frederick Sanger and his team. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and its sequencing was a significant milestone in the field of biochemistry.
What metabolic process is stimulated by insulin?
Insulin stimulates the uptake of glucose by cells, especially in muscle and fat tissue, which promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen. Insulin also stimulates protein synthesis and inhibits protein breakdown.
