| Analysis Note: | These products are for test and assay use only. They are not meant for administration to humans or animals and cannot be used to diagnose, treat, or cure diseases of any kind. |
| Application: | Insulin human USP reference standard suitable for use in specified USP compendial tests and assays. Also, for use with USP monographs such as: • Insulin Human Injection • Human Insulin Isophane Suspension and Human Insulin Injection • Isophane Insulin Human Suspension |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Regulates the cellular uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids and inhibits the breakdown of glycogen, protein, and fat. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Two-chain polypeptide hormone produced by the β-cells of pancreatic islets. Its molecular weight is ~5800 Da. The α and β chains are joined by two interchain disulfide bonds. The α chain contains an intrachain disulfide bond. Insulin regulates the cellular uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids and inhibits the breakdown of glycogen, protein, and fat. |
| General description: | Insulin Human is a recombinant form of the human insulin hormone, comprising two polypeptide chains (A and B) linked by disulfide bonds. It regulates glucose metabolism and is essential in the management of diabetes mellitus. The USP biologics proteins category provides critical standards and reference materials necessary for the development and manufacturing of therapeutic proteins. These proteins, which can be naturally derived or genetically engineered, are essential in treating various diseases and conditions, ensuring that they meet quality, safety, and efficacy standards. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics. |
