CC   -!- FUNCTION: INSULIN DECREASES BLOOD GLUCOSE CONCENTRATION. IT
CC       INCREASES CELL PERMEABILITY TO MONOSACCHARIDES, AMINO ACIDS AND
CC       FATTY ACIDS. IT ACCELERATES GLYCOLYSIS, THE PENTOSE PHOSPHATE
CC       CYCLE, AND GLYCOGEN SYNTHESIS IN LIVER.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: HETERODIMER OF A B CHAIN AND AN A CHAIN LINKED BY TWO
CC       DISULFIDE BONDS.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: SECRETED.
CC   -!- DISEASE: DEFECTS OF INSULIN ARE THE CAUSE OF HYPERPROINSULINEMIA
CC       AND OF TYPE-II DIABETES MELLITUS.
