• Background: Insulin is a 51-amino acid peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets. It is a combination of two peptide chains named A-chain (21-amino acids) and B-chain (30-amino acids), which are linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into liver. It is also involved in the protein synthesis of skeletal muscle as well as fat tissue through the tyrosine kinase receptor pathway. This antibody was generated by immunization of guinea pigs with Insulin coupled to a carrier protein.
