Tetrahymena functions by, producing, storage, and the uptake of insulin that is a hormone that is similar to that of the mammals. It functions as an immunocytochemical and the functionality. The plasma membrane and the nuclear envelope of Tetrahymena have insulin receptors that are similar to that of mammal receptors and act as their binding capacities. The cells also have a second messenger and some signal pathway for the insulin. This insulin also influences the formation of other hormones. When there ...
