Bovine insulin(Cat No.: M062640) is a peptide hormone derived from cattle, structurally similar to human insulin but differing by three amino acids. It regulates glucose metabolism by promoting cellular glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, and lipid metabolism. Historically used to treat diabetes, bovine insulin was among the first therapeutic insulins before recombinant human insulin became prevalent. It remains valuable in research for studying insulin signaling, diabetes models, and receptor interactions. Bovine insulin also finds applications in cell culture and biochemical assays.
