General description
At least the same specific activity (EC<sub>50</sub>) compared to the indicated standard is guaranteed.
Recombinant Insulin, human, is produced in yeast and purified by standard chromatographic techniques. Insulin regulates blood glucose. In muscles and adipocytes it stimulates glucose intake and metabolism. It also controls the expression and various enzymes.[1]
Application
Insulin shows a broad range of activities on a variety of somatic cells. Recombinant human insulin can be used to stimulate growth and proliferation of cultured cells and to investigate insulin activity on sensitive cells used in research studies. It is also a component of serum-free media formulations for most primary cells and cell lines.[2][3][4]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Insulin, human, is active on most mammalian cells.
Regulates the cellular uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids and inhibits the breakdown of glycogen, protein, and fat.
Two-chain polypeptide hormone produced by the β-cells of pancreatic islets. Its molecular weight is ~5800 Da. The α and β chains are joined by two interchain disulfide bonds. The α chain contains an intrachain disulfide bond. Insulin regulates the cellular uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids and inhibits the breakdown of glycogen, protein, and fat.
Physical form
Lyophilizate from a hydrochloric acid solution (pH 2.3) (crystalline insulin)
Preparation Note
Working concentration: 1-10 μg/ml
Recommended concentration for serum-free cell culture is 1-10 μg/ml.
The concentration of insulin required for stimulation of cell growth in almost all cases is extraordinarily high compared with the physiological concentration. Insulin may be mimicking insulin-like growth factors (IGFs, somatomedins) for some cell lines, and high insulin concentrations may be necessary to occupy receptors which have a high affinity for IGFs and a lower affinity for insulin.
Working solution: Dissolve Insulin, human, recombinant (100 mg or 500 mg), in sterile, double-dist. water (final concentration: 10 mg/ml).
Storage conditions (working solution): -15 to -25 °C
The reconstituted, undiluted solution is stable at -15 to -25 °C.
Note: Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
