As secreted heterodimeric peptide hormone produced by the pancreas, Insulin is central to regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates and fat in the body. Insulin increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids and accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver.
