==Key Stage 4 Higher==
===Meaning===
'''Insulin production''' is how [[insulin]] is made to treat [[Diabetes|diabetics]].

===About Insulin Production===
: Before [[Genetic Engineering|genetic engineering]] [[insulin]] was gathered from the [[pancreas]]es of pigs which had been slaughtered for meat.
: [[Insulin Production|Insulin is produced]] currently by '''genetically modified''' [[bacteria]] which have had the [[gene]] [[Coding DNA|coding]] for [[insulin]] inserted into a [[plasmid]] in the [[bacteria]].
: The [[gene]] which [[Coding DNA|codes]] for the [[Protein Synthesis|synthesis]] of [[insulin]] can be removed from a [[human]] [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] using a special [[enzyme]]. This [[gene]] is then inserted into the [[plasmid]] of a [[bacteria]] using another [[enzyme]]. The [[bacteria]] is then encouraged to [[Reproduction|reproduce]]. This new colony of [[bacteria]] [[Protein Synthesis|synthesise]] [[insulin]].
