Message definition (Insulin)
Insulin is produced by [[beta cells]] of the [[pancreatic islets]] in most vertebrates and by the [[Brockmann body]] in some [[teleost fish]]. [[Cone snail]]s: ''[[Conus geographus]]'' and ''[[Conus tulipa]]'', venomous sea snails that hunt small fish, use modified forms of insulin in their venom cocktails. The insulin toxin, closer in structure to fishes' than to snails' native insulin, slows down the prey fishes by lowering their blood glucose levels.
