Refer to the figure. The protein insulin, which plays a role in blood glucose regulation, is first synthesized as proinsulin, a single polypeptide chain with three domains, designated A, B, and C.Domain C connects domains A and B, which bind to one another through intramolecular disulfide bonds.Insulin is secreted as a polypeptide without domain C.In the figure, _______ represents the process that modifies proinsulin to yield insulin.
