The B Cells Of The Pancreas Are The Only Type Of Cell In The Human Body That Makes Insulin Proteins Even Though Every H 1 (128.83 KiB) Viewed 43 times

The B-cells of the Pancreas are the only type of cell in the human body that makes insulin proteins, even though every human cell has the genetic information for how to make insulin. Write a brief, general explanation of how this is possible, for each of the following two prompts: A) What are the general things that all B-cells have to do in order for the insulin gene to be transcribed? (Your description should address all aspects – in general terms – up to the point when RNA polymerase would transcribe the insulin gene.) B) What do all the other non-ß-cells in the body have to do to ensure that none of them will accidentally make insulin? For both of these your description should address any and all aspects that are relevant and which come before the point when RNA polymerase would transcribe the insulin gene. You can answer these questions in general terms - no need for the names of specific proteins; just referring to them by their general function is sufficient.
