Insulin
only hormone that can cause hypoglycemia
Hormones that counteract insulin and INCREASE blood glucose

How is insulin made?
-a 2 chain, disulfide-linked polypeptide produced by cleavage of a "c-peptide" from PRO-INSULIN

(the snakey thing)
How is insulin stored?
-Proinsulin is packaged into cytosolic secretory granules during maturation
--Coordinated with Zn Ion
--Equimolar amounts of C-peptide also packaged and produced
Process of insulin secretion
-Increased blood glucose level
->glucose taken into beta cell through GLUT-2 transporter
->glocose metabolized to glucokinase and ATP produced
->ATP blocks ATP Sensitive K+ channel (ASKC)
->Causes K+ to accumulate in the cell and depolarization of the cell membrane
->Depolarization opens Voltage Dependent Calcuim channels
->Calcium enters cells
->Calcium is essential for secretion and exocytosis of insulin
Factors controlling Insulin secretion
