Splitting the chains: ultra-basal insulin analog uncovers a redox mechanism of hormone clearance

Reporting in Nature Communications, Kjeldsen and colleagues describe a redox mechanism of insulin clearance based on separation of A- and B chains. Exploiting an ultra-long-acting analog protected from classical clearance pathways, the study highlights principles of protein stability in pharmacology...
