| Description | INSulin related | Other Name | ilp |
| Primary Identifier | ins | Remark | About 12 separate insulin genes had been described in three separate papers before a consistant nomenclature first appeared in Pierce et al. 2001. This paper also expanded the family to 37 members. Occasional use of other names has also added some confusion to this gene family.

This unofficial ins-2 is not the same as the CGG ins-2 (ZK75.2) WBPerson1845 There is an ins-1 locus which is an EMBL gene name (not CGC-approved) and became an other-name of ins-18 as their protein sequences are identical.
