General description

Proinsulin, the precursor of insulin and C-peptide, is made by the β cells of the pancreas. Proinsulin formed by the cleavage of pre-proinsulin contains B- and A-domains linked through the connecting domain. Proinsulin interacts with insulin receptor-A (IR-A) isoform present in the nervous system and exhibits antiapoptotic and neuroprotective effects in the developing and postnatal nervous system. Elevated levels of proinsulin serve as a marker for secretory β-cell dysfunction. Increased levels of this hormone are also observed in patients with type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance. This kit measures the intact and intermediate metabolic forms of human proinsulin.

Application

Human Total Proinsulin ELISA has been used to measure plasma, serum, eye, and retinal levels of human proinsulin.

Questions

  1. What type of antibody is used in the EZHPI-15K kit to detect human pro-insulin? Is it known what epitopes it is binding and if they are conformational or linear? Is it polyclonal or monoclonal?

    1 answer
    1. The capture antibody in this product is a polyclonal guinea pig anti-human insulin antibody. The detection antibody is a monoclonal antibody that recognizes the region specific for intact human proinsulin. Epitope mapping has not been performed.
