Insulin aspart molecule. Computer model showing the structure of insulin aspart, a fast-acting insulin formed of the four chains A, C (violet) and B, D (green) that quickly releases the active monomer. Insulin plays an important role in blood sugar regulation. Insufficient production of insulin leads to an accumulation of glucose in the blood causing diabetes.
