Question

An enzyme that primarily degrades this protein forces substrates to refold into beta-sheets in a triangular prism-shaped active site. Two disulfide bonds stabilize the two chains of this protein, (10[1]-5[2])which originate from cleavage (10[1])of a single precursor that assembles (10[1])into (10[1])hexameric (10[2]-5[1])complexes (10[2])that coordinate to zinc. (10[1])This protein propagates (10[1])signals after binding a receptor tyrosine (10[1])kinase that triggers the PI3K (10[1]-5[1])and ERK (10[2])pathways. Intracellular vesicles (-5[1])sensitive to this protein express the protein GLUT4. (10[2])Amylin (10[5]-5[1])and this hormone (10[2])are (10[1])produced in the islets (-5[1])of (10[1])Langerhans (10[8])in beta (10[2])cells (10[3])of (10[1])the (10[3])pancreas. (10[2])This hormone (10[1])promotes (10[2])the formation (10[2])of glycogen. (10[4]-5[1])For (10[2])10 (10[1])points, name this peptide (10[1])hormone that promotes (-5[1])absorption (-5[1])of glucose (10[1])that is deficient (0[1])in diabetes. (10[1])■END■ (10[10])
