Target Details for Insulin

Target: Insulin (INS)

Alternative Name: Insulin

Background: Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by β cells of the pancreatic islets, and by the Brockmann body in some teleost fish. It has important effects on the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein by promoting the absorption of, especially, glucose from the blood into fat, liver and skeletal muscle cells.
