Molecular weights of Insulin A chain and B chain? - (Feb/03/2012 )

Hi,
What are the molecular weights of human Insulin A chain and B chain?

Thanks,

thanks for the links but i am still confused.

The weights of bovine insulin for A chain is 2.4 kDa and B chain is 3.4 kDa. Shouldn't it be approx. similar to weights of respective chains of human insulin ?
