Description

• Human insulin is a peptide hormone, composed of 51 amino acids, produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets
• Insulin regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein by promoting the absorption of, especially glucose from the blood into liver, fat and skeletal muscle cells
• Insulin levels are routinely measured to evaluate insulin production; diagnose insulin-producing tumors; determine hypoglycemia or to identify insulin resistance
• This certified Snap-N-Spike™ solution of the fully-intact human insulin protein is suitable for use as starting material in calibrators and controls in LC-MS/MS insulin testing methods.
