After removal of signal peptide, the secretory protein involved in formation of insulin is known as
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Proinsulin
The insulin mRNA is translated as a single chain precursor called preproinsulin, and removal of its signal peptide during insertion into the endoplasmic reticulum generates proinsulin. Insulin and free C peptide are packaged in the Golgi into secretory granules which accumulate in the cytoplasm.So, the correct answer is 'Proinsulin.'
