Abstract: The invention relates to exsulins or insulin mimetic amino acid sequences with a molecular weight of up to 55,000 daltons and with 1 to 50 basic units of following Formula (1): [?] L,V,I,A]-X1—X2-[L,V,I,A]-[D,E]-[N,Q,M]-X3—[C,H]—X4 [?], whereby; [L,V,I,A], [D,E], [N,Q,M], [C,H] and X1 to 4 represent peptidically linked amino acids; [L,V,I,A] represents leucine (L), valine (V), isoleucine (I) or alanine (A); [D,E] represents asparaginic acid (D) or glutamic acid (E); [N,Q,M] represents asparagine (N), glutamine (Q) or methionine (M); [C,H] represents cysteine (C) or histidine (H); both groups [L,V,I,A] in a basic unit can be identical or different; X1, X2, X3 and X4 represent any type of amino acid and the four amino acids X1 to 4 in a basic unit can be identical or different.
