Proinsulin connectingpeptide (swine) (9CI)

Description:

Proinsulin connecting peptide, commonly referred to as C-peptide, is a peptide that plays a crucial role in the processing of proinsulin to insulin in the pancreas. The substance identified by the CAS number 28152-90-1 is derived from swine, reflecting its use in veterinary medicine and research. C-peptide is composed of a chain of amino acids that connects the A and B chains of insulin, and it is released into the bloodstream in equimolar amounts with insulin during the cleavage of proinsulin. This peptide is biologically inactive but serves as a useful biomarker for assessing insulin production in the body. Its stability in circulation and relatively long half-life compared to insulin makes it a valuable tool in diabetes research and management. Additionally, C-peptide has been studied for its potential physiological effects, including its role in microvascular function and its possible protective effects on beta-cell function. Overall, C-peptide is an important component in understanding insulin dynamics and diabetes pathology.
