| Domain | Definition |
Health | The substance made first in the pancreas that is then made into insulin. When insulin is purified from the pancreas of pork or beef, all the proinsulin is not fully removed. When some people use these insulins, the proinsulin can cause the body to react with a rash, to resist the insulin, or even to make dents or lumps in the skin at the place where the insulin is injected. The purified insulins have less proinsulin and other impurities than the other types of insulins. (references) |
Medicine | A polypeptide comprising 86 amino acids formed from preproinsulin by the removal of a peptide containing 23 amino acids. The proinsulin molecule folds to bring the first and last segment of the chain together. The central part of the chain, which serves to align the two peptides(A and B chains)that form insulin, is then excised. Source: European Union. (references) |

To diagnose these tumors, called insulinomas, a doctor will put the patient on a 24- to 72-hour fast while measuring blood levels of glucose, insulin, and proinsulin. (references) | ||
