Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
You mean insulin. The instructions for making insulin are encoded in a nuclear gene called INS (located on chromosome 11 in humans).

In other words: a specific segment of nuclear DNA (the INS gene) is transcribed to mRNA, translated to preproinsulin, and processed into active insulin. (Note: when insulin is produced industrially, the INS gene is often cloned into plasmid DNA carried by bacteria or yeast.)
