How is a mature, functional insulin hormone different from its prohormone form?

Answers (1)

Insulin in its prohormone form is not active and it needs to be mature to become the functional Insulin. The prohormone form of Insulin contains an extra stretch of a polypeptide called C peptide. When Insulin becomes mature, it is devoid of C peptide.
