Description:Peptide to C-Peptide, HumanForm:Lyophilized powderAlternative Names:Insulin Precursor (57-87) (human)
CAS Number:33017-11-7Molecular Formula:C129H211N35O48Molecular Weight:3020.33Purity:> 95%Chemical Structure:H-Glu-Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu-Gln-Val-Gly-Gln-Val-Glu-Leu-Gly-Gly-Gly-Pro-Gly-Ala-Gly-Ser-Leu-Gln-Pro-Leu-Ala-Leu-Glu-Gly-Ser-Leu-Gln-OHApplication:The measurement of the C-peptide under standardized conditions provides a sensitive, well accepted, and clinically validated assessment of β-cell function. The C-peptide measurement is the most suitable primary outcome for clinical trials of therapies aimed at preserving or improving endogenous insulin secretion in type 1 diabetes patients. C-peptide also shows hormonal activity. Clinical studies demonstrated that C-peptide administration in type 1 diabetes patients, who lack the peptide, alleviates the diabetes-induced renal and nerve dysfunctions.Storage/Stability:Shipped at 4°C. Store at -20°C for one year.
