This protein is found in the controversial GIK infusion used to treat acute myocardial infarctions.
This protein is found in the controversial GIK infusion used to treat acute myocardial infarctions. It's not Wnt, but the IRS-mediated binding of this protein to its receptor triggers a PI-3 kinase-based signaling pathway that deactivates GSK3. The primary ligands of this protein's associated receptor tyrosine kinase are this protein and two growth factors that have a similar structure to this protein, whose precursor form consists of A and B chains connected by the (*) C-peptide. Frederick Sanger won a Nobel Prize for sequencing this hormone, which indirectly stimulates glycogen production. Glucagon opposes this hormone, which is secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas. For 10 points, the release of glucose from blood to tissues is promoted by what hormone whose deficiency causes diabetes?
