Insulin is produced by the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.
These are cells scattered throughout the pancreas, about a million of them in a healthy adult.
Their are five different types of these cells.
No. Thge islet cells of the pancreas produce insulin and glucagon
Insulin is not produced by pancreatic islet cells. It is produced by beta cells within the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, while glucagon is produced by alpha cells and somatostatin is produced by delta cells in the pancreatic islets.
Insulin is made by the islet cells in the pancreas. These are the endocrine cells found in the pancreas.
Beta Islet Cells
Pancreatic islet cell transplantation involves taking the cells that produce insulin from a second source such as a donor pancreas and transplanting them into a patient.
I think alpha cells in the pancreas secretes hormone insulin. Beta cells of pancreas secretes hormone glucagon. Both insulin and glucagon have antagonist effect of one another.
Innovations in islet cell transplants, a procedure that involves transplanting a culture of the insulin-producing islet cells of a healthy pancreas to a patient with type I diabetes.

The islet cells or islets of Langerhans in the pancreas are responsible for producing the pancreatic hormones which are glucagon and insulin. Insulin is released when blood glucose levels are too high and glucagon is released when blood glucose levels are too low.
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.
insulin and Glucagon - both are hormones which control glucose levels in the blood.
