Abstract
Recombinant plasmids are described that carry the structural gene for human proinsulin in expressible form. The human proinsulin structural gene is fused to a functional transport sequence. Host organisms transformed by the recombinant plasmids express a preproinsulin in vivo, and is transported across the host organism's cell wall. Following its recovery, in vitro methods are used to convert the human proinsulin to human insulin.
