form :
Purified. Purified synthetic peptide - lyophilised
storage stability :
Prior to reconstitution store at 4 degree C. After reconstitution store at -20 degree C. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the protein. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use. Shelf Life: 6 months from date of reconstitution.
tested application :
ELISA (EIA)
other info1 :
Reconstitution: Reconstitute with 0.5ml distilled water. Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. MyBioSource recommends that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution. Preparation: Solid phase synthesis
other info2 :
Buffer Solution: Acetate salt. Target Species: Human. Preservative Stabilizer: none present
products description :
This product is a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 3-33 of Human C-peptide, also known as 'Connecting peptide'. C-peptide is the product of protease cleavage of proinsulin to produce insulin. Both Insulin and C-peptide are biologically active.

ncbi summary :
After removal of the precursor signal peptide, proinsulin is post-translationally cleaved into three peptides: the B chain and A chain peptides, which are covalently linked via two disulfide bonds to form insulin, and C-peptide. Binding of insulin to the insulin receptor (INSR) stimulates glucose uptake. A multitude of mutant alleles with phenotypic effects have been identified. There is a read-through gene, INS-IGF2, which overlaps with this gene at the 5' region and with the IGF2 gene at the 3' region. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

uniprot summary :
Insulin: Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver. Heterodimer of a B chain and an A chain linked by two disulfide bonds. Belongs to the insulin family.
