उत्तर
C-peptide of human insulin is removed during maturation of pro-insulin to insulin.
Explanation:
Insulin is synthesized as a pro-hormone in mammals, including humans, and must be processed before it becomes a fully developed and functioning hormone. It has an additional stretch, known as the C-peptide, which is removed during insulin maturation.
