प्रश्न
State the role of C-peptide in human insulin.

उत्तर
Mammalian insulin is synthesized as a prohormone, which undergoes processing to become a fully mature and functional insulin molecule. The prohormone contains an extra chain called C-peptide, which is removed during the conversion of prohormone to the mature hormone insulin.
