Where is the insulin molecule produced in the cell? What organelles/structures it has to pass through before it is released to the outside of the cell and into the blood stream?
Rehana R.
Insulin is a protein that is produced by certain pancreatic cells and secreted into the bloodstream. Which of the following choices best describes the route of insulin to its exit from the cell? (Refer to the diagram below) Endoplasmic reticulum --> transport vesicles --> Golgi apparatus --> transport vesicles --> secretion outside of the cell cytosol --> transport across the plasma membrane Endoplasmic reticulum --> transport vesicles --> secretion outside of the cell Golgi apparatus --> transport vesicles --> endosome --> transport vesicles --> secretion outside of the cell
