Which one of the following statements about genetically engineered insulin is incorrect?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Human insulin produced by genetic engineering (Humulin) is processed without the C-peptide, because in bacteria (like E. coli) insulin is produced as separate A and B chains which are later joined. The C-peptide is removed during natural insulin maturation in humans, so it is not present in recombinant insulin.
