| | Product Description | |
| C-peptide of insulin is the C-terminal cleavage product produced during processing of the insulin prohormone to the mature insulin molecule. Although the C-peptide of insulin is biologically inactive, it does undergo significant liver or extra-renal metabolism and therefore has a much longer circulating half-life than insulin [1]. In addition, C-peptide assays may be analytically more sensitive than insulin assays. Measurement of the C-peptide of insulin may be useful in evaluating endogenous insulin secretion in a variety of clinical conditions [2, 3, 4].
