Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas by the beta cells of islets of Langerhans, has a molecular weight of 5800 Da and facilitates metabolism regulating carbohydrates. It plays an integral part in bodily functions. Insulin stimulates glucose-6-phosphatase which moves glucose into cells. When blood sugar levels rise, plasma insulin levels also increase.
