Anatomy and Physiology 12 Mutations Project Background Information Insulin is a protein that helps regulate the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream. However, some people have a point mutation in their DNA so that they can’t make insulin. This leads to the body being unable to uptake glucose, leading to a condition called diabetes. The inability to uptake glucose has many serious effects on the body. Your task is not to research diabetes or any other real disease caused by mutations, but rather to make up your own…….
