 '''Insulin''' is a hormone that controls [[Carbohydrate Metabolism|carbohydrate metabolism]] and storage in the human body.  The body is able to sense the concentration of glucose in the blood and respond by secreting insulin, which is produced by beta cells in the pancreas.  Synthesis of human insulin in E. coli is important to producing insulin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.  Proinsulin (Pins) is processed by several proteases in the Golgi apparatus to form insulin which is shorter by 35 amino acids.  DPI is a monomeric despentapeptide (B26-B30) Ins analogue.  DTRI is a monomeric destripeptide (B28-B30) Ins analogue.  DHPI is for desheptapeptide (B24-B30) Ins.  LIns is a legume Ins.
