This hormone is released when an increased ATP to ADP ratio is sensed, which leads to the closing of potassium channels.
In order to form this compound, PC1, PC2, and carboxypeptidase E must remove the C peptide portion. This hormone is released when an increased ATP to ADP ratio is sensed, which leads to the closing of potassium channels. This causes depolarization of the cell, leading to an increase in calcium levels and secretory vesicle release of this hormone. When this hormone binds to its receptor, it activates the PKB pathway, leading to more synthesis of glycogen in muscle and fat cells. For 10 points, name this hormone that is secreted by the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans and whose lack of activity is linked to diabetes.
