Supplementary information

Proinsulin is a precursor molecule important for insulin production. Its alternate names include 'INS-IGF2' or 'preproinsulin'. It has a molecular mass of approximately 9 kDa. The primary expression occurs in the beta cells of the pancreatic islets. Proinsulin undergoes enzymatic cleavage to produce insulin and C-peptide executing a significant transformation as it matures into active insulin which plays an important role in glucose metabolism.
Biological function summary

Proinsulin facilitates the synthesis and release of insulin an essential process involving the conversion from proinsulin to insulin. Proinsulin itself does not operate as part of a complex but requires processing enzymes like prohormone convertase to mature into functional insulin. The efficient conversion of proinsulin to insulin allows cells to maintain glucose homeostasis highlighting its importance in cellular energy usage.

Pathways

Insulin biosynthesis and secretion and the glucose homeostasis pathway rely heavily on proinsulin. In the insulin biosynthesis pathway proinsulin acts upstream of insulin the hormone directly regulating blood glucose levels. The pathways involve interaction with proteins such as proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) which participates in the conversion of proinsulin to insulin. Through these pathways proinsulin ensures proper energy regulation and balances the body's glucose supply with cellular demands.

Aberrations in proinsulin processing or levels closely associate with diabetes mellitus and hyperinsulinemia. Diabetes mellitus characterized by insulin deficiency or resistance can result from insufficient proinsulin conversion to insulin. Hyperinsulinemia involves excess levels of insulin-related peptides sometimes due to incomplete proinsulin processing. Disorders affecting proinsulin often involve its relationship with insulin where inadequate or excess production directly influences blood glucose regulation and disease progression.
