Proinsulin C-peptide I(rat) (9CI)

Description:

Proinsulin C-peptide I (rat) is a peptide that plays a crucial role in the processing of proinsulin to insulin in the pancreatic beta cells of rats. It is a byproduct of the cleavage of proinsulin, which consists of the insulin chain and the C-peptide. The C-peptide is released into the bloodstream in equimolar amounts with insulin, making it a useful biomarker for assessing insulin production and pancreatic function. The substance is characterized by its specific amino acid sequence, which is essential for its biological activity and interaction with insulin receptors. Proinsulin C-peptide is typically studied in the context of diabetes research, as its levels can provide insights into beta-cell function and the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus. Additionally, it has been investigated for potential therapeutic roles due to its effects on various physiological processes. The CAS number 41475-27-8 uniquely identifies this compound, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and databases.

C-Peptide 1 (rat)

CAS: 41475-27-8

Studies of the cellular effects of C-peptide have shown that it binds specifically in a nanomolar concentration range to a G-protein coupled membrane receptor, with subsequent activation of Ca²⁺-dependent intracellular signaling pathways. This resulted in stimulation of both Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase activities. Administration of C-peptide to streptozotocin induced diabetic rats elicited a substantial increase in whole-body glucose turnover.
