This Mouse Monoclonal antibody specifically detects C-Peptide in ELISA, ICC, IHC (p) and RIA. It exhibits reactivity toward Human and has been mentioned in 2+ publications.
The mouse monoclonal antibody C-PEP-01 reacts specifically with C-peptide, a part of the proinsulin molecule. Proinsulin consists of three parts: C-peptide and two long strands of amino acids (alpha and beta chains, later become linked together to form the insulin molecule). No cross-reactivity with insulin or other peptide hormones or proteins was observed.

C-Peptide
Background
From every molecule of proinsulin, one molecule of insulin plus one molecule of C-peptide are produced. C-peptide is released into the blood stream in equal amounts to insulin.,C-peptide of proinsulin
