It would be more correct to say that bacteria and yeast can be genetically modified to produce a compound which is chemically identical to human insulin.

So can plants, by the way; a safflower plant with the genes to produce bio-identical human insulin has been demonstrated.

Is production of human insulin transgenic organism?

Yes, human insulin can be produced through genetically engineered organisms, such as transgenic bacteria or yeast. These organisms are modified to express the human insulin gene, allowing them to produce insulin that is identical to the insulin produced by humans.


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.


How is Insulin synthetically made?

Insulin can be synthetically made through a process called recombinant DNA technology. This involves inserting the gene for human insulin into bacteria or yeast cells, which then produce insulin that is identical to what the human body makes naturally. These cells are then cultured and the insulin is harvested and purified for medical use.


How is insulin produced through genetic engineering?

Insulin is produced through genetic engineering by inserting the human insulin gene into a host organism, such as bacteria or yeast. The host organism then produces insulin that is identical to human insulin. This process allows for the mass production of insulin for medical use.


Is there pig pee in the insulin?

No . . . human insulin is made from pig insulin, quite often.


What biotechnology is used to produce insulin for diabetics?

Recombinant DNA technology is used to produce insulin for diabetics. This involves inserting the human insulin gene into bacteria or yeast cells, which then produce insulin that is identical to the one produced by our bodies.


How did scientist make insulin?

Scientists made insulin by isolating it from the pancreas of animals, such as pigs and cows, initially. Later, recombinant DNA technology allowed for the production of human insulin using genetically engineered bacteria or yeast cells. This process revolutionized insulin production, making it more widely available and reducing the risk of allergic reactions from animal-derived insulin.


When insulin was being commercially produced in genetically engineered bacteria and yeast it was obtained from the pancreas of what?

When insulin was being commercially produced in genetically engineered bacteria and yeast, it was obtained from the pancreas of pigs and cows. This animal insulin was then purified and used as a template to create synthetic human insulin through genetic engineering processes.


What is most of the insulin manufactured today to treat diabetes produced by?

Most of the insulin manufactured today to treat diabetes is produced through recombinant DNA technology. This process involves inserting the human insulin gene into bacteria or yeast, which then produce insulin as they grow and multiply. The insulin is subsequently purified and formulated for medical use. This biotechnological method allows for the production of insulin that is structurally identical to natural human insulin.


What is the process of making human insulin with bacteria?

The process involves inserting the human gene for insulin into a bacterial plasmid, which acts as a vector. The bacteria then replicates the gene and produces insulin protein. The protein is harvested, purified, and formulated into insulin for medical use.


Human insulin is produced in large quantities by?

Human insulin is produced in large quantities by recombinant DNA technology in bacteria such as Escherichia coli or yeast cells. The gene for human insulin is inserted into the DNA of these organisms, which then produce insulin protein that can be harvested and purified for medical use.


Can NPH and Regular insulin be mixed?

yes...because regular insulin and Isophane Insulin(NPH) is a human-made form of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced naturally by pancreas
