C-Peptide ELISA

Enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative determination of C-Peptide in human serum.

INTENDED USE:For the direct quantitative determination of C-Peptide by an enzyme immunoassay in human serum.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Human C-peptide of insulin is an amino acid chain of 3000 molecular weight, joining the A and B chains of insulin. It is secreted from the granules in the islet beta cells at equimolar concentrations with insulin. It is however, not as rapidly degraded by the liver as in the case of insulin, and therefore is more stable in the blood. These characteristics make the determination of C-peptide an advantageous test as an indicator to quantify insulin. It is therefore used in evaluating hypoglycemia and insulnoma.
