The structure of insulin consists of two short polypeptide chains—chain A and chain B—linked together by disulphide bridges. In mammals, including human beings, insulin is synthesised as a pro-hormone which contains an extra stretch called the C peptide which is removed during maturation into insulin. The rDNA technique is used for assembling insulin into the mature form.
