Abstract excerpt
To further understand the role of the three conserved Val residues in insulin, B12Val, B18Val, and A3Val, five insulin mutants-[A3Ser]insulin, [B12Thr]insulin, (desB30)[B12Ser]insulin, [B18Thr] insulin, and [B18Leu]insulin--were obtained by means of site-directed mutagenesis and their receptor-binding activities as well as in vivo biological potencies were measured. The two B18 mutants, [B18Thr]insulin and...
