Question 1
Question
Pre-Proinsulin contains an R.E.R signal that moves it to the golgi
Question 2
Question
What is the role of the C-peptide part of the insulin chain
Answer
-
Formation of disulphide bonds between the alpha and beta chains
-
Formation of Fe-S bonds between the alpha and beta chains
-
Formation of peptide bonds between the alpha and beta chains
Question 3
Question
Pro-insulin is made of the alpha & beta chains and the c peptide
Question 4
Question
Which of the following cleave the c-peptide from the proinsulin?
Answer
-
Endopeptidase
-
Enteropeptidase
-
Carboxypeptidase
Question 5
Question
What form does newly made insulin take?
Question 6
Question
The cleaved C-peptide is released along with the insulin
Question 7
Question
Why do Mannoheptulases inhibit insulin release?
Answer
-
The insulin secretion system relies on the phosphorylation of glucose, which MHLs inhibit
-
MHLs block excretory channels
-
MHLs prevent the movement of insulin to the RER
Question 8
Question
Optimum insulin secretion occurs at 8mM
Question 9
Question
Why is optimal secretion of insulin at 8mM
Question 10
Question
Insulin secretion relies on ATP dependent K+ channels
Question 11
Question
K+ buildup causes Ca2+ influx and insulin secretion
Question 12
Question
Which drugs block K+ channels and mimic high glucose?
Answer
-
Sulpynoylurea
-
Sulphinomides
-
Sulphinomics
Question 13
Question
Diazoxide causes insulin secretion by keeping channels open

Answer
-
Alpha 1
-
Alpha 2
-
Beta 1
-
Beta 2
Question 15
Question
Low concs of adrenaline inhibit insulin secretion through Beta receptors
Question 16
Question
Insulin is catabolic
Question 17
Question
