In some proteins that contain two or more cysteine amino acids, the formation of disulfide bonds are necessary to achieve a folded and stable protein. The endoplasmic reticulum is an oxidative environment whereas the cytosol is a reducing environment. What organelles do animal cells use to host the synthesis of insulin and why? If you want to engineer an animal cell to produce insulin and secrete it to the extracellular matrix, what organelles are required to perform this task and obtain a functional secreted insulin?
