- Human proinsulin C-peptide
C-peptide is a peptide hormone that is cleaved from proinsulin in the pancreatic beta cells. Both C-peptide and insulin are released by the beta cells in the event of glycaemia. Due to it having a relatively long half life, compared to insulin, and the fact it is not immediately metabolised by the liver, makes C-peptide a useful biomarker to monitor beta cell function. Increased levels of C-peptide occurring in patients with insulin resistant type 2 diabetes mellitus, have been associated with macrovascular complications and cardiovascular morbidity. During in vitro studies it has also been found that C-peptide prevents endothelial cell reactive oxygen species from being formed and therefore oxidative stress is reduced. This also may lead to anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic responses.
