R-PLEX Human C-Peptide Antibody Set Overview
The R-PLEX Human C-Peptide Antibody Set includes a matched capture and detection antibody pair and calibrator for the quick and easy measurement of C-Peptide in biological samples. R-PLEX products leverage MSD’s electrochemiluminescence technology for better sensitivity and a larger dynamic range than traditional ELISAs. R-PLEX matched antibody sets enable the development of singleplex and multiplex immunoassays. Individual assays may be developed using MSD avidin- or streptavidin-coated plates. Custom multiplex assays with any combination of R-PLEX analytes, as well as R-PLEX and U-PLEX analytes, can be developed on U-PLEX MULTI-SPOT plates.

C-Peptide Analyte

Description - Connecting peptide (C-Peptide) is a 31 amino acid protein constituent of proinsulin produced by pancreatic β cells in the Islets of Langerhans. C-Peptide connects the A-chain and the B-chain of the proinsulin polypeptide. C-Peptide has been used to distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. C-Peptide is of interest in the study of hormone-dependent conditions, including gastromas associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and metabolic syndrome.
