[edit] Description

Insulin [Contains: Insulin B chain; Insulin A chain].

[edit] Source Organism

Acipenser guldenstadti (Caspian sturgeon) (Russian sturgeon).

[edit] Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Actinopterygii; Chondrostei; Acipenseriformes; Acipenseridae;Acipenser.

[edit] Subcellular Localization

Secreted.

[edit] Developmental Stage

[edit] Similarity

Belongs to the insulin family.

[edit] Post translational Modification

[edit] Function

Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver
