BioVendor, LLC C-Peptide (U-type) Rat ELISA (96 wells)

Supplier: BioVendor, LLC 63907271

C-Peptide (U-type) Rat ELISA (96 wells). Immunoassay kit to quantify total C-Peptide in rat serum, plasma, or cell culture supernatant. The kit recognizes the common sequences between C-peptide 1 and 2, allowing measurement of the total amount of C-peptide. SAMPLE REQ.: 10 l/well. CAL. RANGE: 303000 pg/ml. DETECTION LIMIT: 1.5 pg/ml. SUMMARY: Rat C-peptide 1 and 2 are both single chain peptides composed of 31 amino acids, with a 93.5% homology. Biological half life of C-peptide is several times longer than that of insulin. Measurement of C-peptide is useful in estimation of pancreatic function for insulin synthesis and secretion. Urinary C-peptide concentration is well correlated to its blood level. C-peptide measurement is also useful in estimation of insulin secretion by cultured islet of Langerhans because very often insulin is added to the culture medium, and it is difficult to discriminate secreted insulin from added insulin.
