'''Insulin''' is a peptide [[hormone]] that helps to maintain blood sugar within a healthy range by regulating [[Carbohydrate Metabolism|carbohydrate]] and lipid metabolism throughout the body. It is secreted by specialized cells in the pancreas and acts by binding to [[insulin receptor|insulin receptors]] on other cells. Insulin in its mature form contains two peptide chains connected by [[Cystine|disulfide crosslinks]], and occurs either as monomer or as hexamer. Administering insulin in carefully determined doses at the appropriate times is used in managing [[diabetes]], a chronic condition where the body fails to maintain blood sugar levels by itself.

*'''Proinsulin''' is the insulin precursor which is converted in the pancreas to insulin and C-peptide<ref>PMID:403392</ref>.

*'''Leginsulin''' is an insulin-like peptide found in legumes <ref>PMID:30442953</ref>.

*'''Insulin lispro''' is recombinant insulin which has more rapid absorption than regular insulin<ref>PMID:9339963</ref>. See also [[Insulin lispro]].

*'''Insulin glargine''' is a long-acting insulin <ref>PMID:10730548</ref>. See also [[Insulin glargine]].
