Message definition (Insulin (medication))
Insulin is an [[Endogeny (biology)|endogenous]] [[hormone]], which is produced by the [[pancreas]].
The insulin [[protein]] has been highly conserved across evolutionary time, and is present in both [[mammals]] and [[invertebrates]]. The insulin/[[insulin-like growth factor]] signalling pathway (IIS) has been extensively studied in species including nematode worms (e.g.''[[Caenorhabditis elegans|C. elegans]]''), flies (''[[Drosophila melanogaster]]'') and mice (''[[Mus musculus]]''). Its mechanisms of action are highly similar across species.
