Binding of this molecule to its receptor causes the movement of glucose transporters to the cell membrane.
A precursor of this molecule is made up of three distinct portions, one of which is cleaved off by a peptidase. This molecule's receptor functions as a tyrosine kinase. A set of growth factors alternatively called somatomedins get their name because they are structurally similar to this molecule. This molecule indirectly promotes fatty acid synthesis because the liver has an upper limit on the amount of glycogen it can store. Binding of this molecule to its receptor causes the movement of glucose transporters to the cell membrane. Glucagon has the opposite effect as this molecule. For 10 points, name this hormone produced in the Islets of Langerhans, whose production or reception is faulty in diabetics.
