CAS: 11061-68-0 Cat. No.: I302196 Formula: C₂₅₇H₃₈₃N₆₅O₇₇S₆ Molecular Weight: 5807.57 EC Number: 234-279-7

GRADE & PURITY BioReagent

Overview

Human insulin is a polypeptide hormone secreted by pancreatic β-cells. Insulin plays vital roles in numerous cellular activities, including facilitating the transport of glucose and amino acids, boosting anabolic metabolism while suppressing catabolic metabolism, and stimulating cell proliferation. Insulin is a commonly supplemented component in serum-free mammalian cell culture media.

Recombinant human insulin is produced by Escherichia coli engineered for high-level expression of the human insulin gene, followed by fermentation, isolation, intensive purification, crystallization and drying processes. Human insulin is a protein consisting of 51 amino acid residues.

Intended Use: 

For research and development (R&D) only. Not for clinical treatment or oral administration.

Product Advantages

Easy to use: Soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid.

Animal-origin free: Manufactured via recombinant expression. Free from exogenous viral contamination; no animal-derived raw materials are adopted throughout the production process.

Stable quality: Mass production enables consistent continuous batch manufacturing. Minimal batch-to-batch variation ensures reliable and stable product quality.
