Optimizing Insulin Purification with Reversed-Phase Chromatography
Insulin, the vital protein hormone secreted by pancreatic beta cells in the islets of Langerhans, plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels. Its production is stimulated by various substances including glucose, lactose, nucleic acids, arginine, and glucagon. As the only hormone capable of lowering blood glucose while promoting glycogen, fat, and protein synthesis, insulin remains the primary therapeutic agent for diabetes treatment.
