Insulin (secreted by the beta cell of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas in) causes cells, liver, adipose and muscle cells, to take up glucose from the blood after a meal to prevent hyperglycemia. (Targets Glucose transporter GLUT4 and Glucokinase)
An increase in insulin causes Fatty acid synthesis in the liver (targets Acetyl-CoA carboxylase)
It also causes triacylglycerol synthesis in adipose tissue (targets Lipoprotein lipase)

What is the hormone from the pancreas which functions in opposition to insulin known as?
Glucagon. I looked it up in a textbook. Glucagon raises blood glucose levels; insulin lowers blood glucose levels.
Is insulin fibrous?
No, insulin is not fibrous. It is a peptide hormone composed of amino acids, forming a relatively small protein structure. Insulin functions to regulate blood glucose levels in the body and is soluble in water rather than being fibrous like certain structural proteins, such as collagen or keratin.

How many disulfide bonds does insulin have?
Insulin contains three disulfide bonds. These bonds stabilize the protein structure of insulin, which is crucial for its biological activity in regulating blood sugar levels.
