Difference between Insulin and Proprotein convertase 1

Insulin vs. Proprotein convertase 1

Insulin (from Latin insula, island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body. Proprotein convertase 1, also known as prohormone convertase, prohormone convertase 3, or neuroendocrine convertase 1 and often abbreviated as PC1/3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PCSK1 gene.

Similarities between Insulin and Proprotein convertase 1

Insulin and Proprotein convertase 1 have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Enzyme, Gene, Glucagon, Insulin, Obesity, Pancreatic islets, Proinsulin, Proprotein convertase 2, Proteolysis, Unified atomic mass unit.

Pancreatic islets

The pancreatic islets or islets of Langerhans are the regions of the pancreas that contain its endocrine (hormone-producing) cells, discovered in 1869 by German pathological anatomist Paul Langerhans.

Proinsulin

Proinsulin is the prohormone precursor to insulin made in the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans, specialized regions of the pancreas.

Proprotein convertase 2

Proprotein convertase 2 (PC2) also known as prohormone convertase 2 or neuroendocrine convertase 2 (NEC2) is a serine protease and proprotein convertase PC2, like proprotein convertase 1 (PC1), is an enzyme responsible for the first step in the maturation of many neuroendocrine peptides from their precursors, such as the conversion of proinsulin to insulin intermediates.

Proteolysis

Proteolysis is the breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or amino acids.
