Answer: Option B
:
B
Humulin is the first genetically engineered hormone that was approved for human use. Insulin contains two polypeptide chains A peptide and B peptide. The 'A' peptide is made of 21 amino acids while the 'B' peptide is made of 30 amino acids. Insulin contains three disulphide bonds- two between A and B peptides and one within the A peptide. The C - peptide is present in pro-insulin connecting the A and B peptides. This is cleaved to form active insulin.
