Description
- Description: This ICBTACLS monoclonal antibody reacts with the hormone insulin, responsible for regulation of carbohydrate and fat metabolism
- Blood glucose levels are maintained by insulin
- Insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells within the islets of Langerhans results in uptake of excess glucose from the blood into organs and its storage in the form of glycogen
- Patients with type 1 diabetes have an autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas, resulting in insulin deficiency and elevated levels of blood glucose
- Patients with type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance where insulin becomes less effective at reducing the amount of blood glucose
- Insulin is also important for proper endothelial cell function in with respect to vascular elasticity in response to changing blood pressure and plays a role in cognition, learning, and memory
- The ICBTACLS antibody recognizes human, mouse, and rat insulin
- Applications Reported: This ICBTACLS antibody has been reported for use in immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections, and microscopy
- Applications Tested: This ICBTACLS antibody has been tested by immunohistochemistry of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue using low or high pH antigen retrieval and can be used at less than or equal to 5 μg/mL
- It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest
- Insulin is a peptide hormone secreted by beta cells of the pancreatic islets
- It regulates carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism by enhancing membrane transport of glucose, amino acids, and certain ions
- It also promotes glycogen storage, formation of triglycerides and synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids
- Insulin is 51-amino acid polypeptide product produced from a precursor peptide, proinsulin
- Proinsulin is post-translationally cleaved into two chains (peptide A and peptide B) that are covalently linked via two disulfide bonds and one molecule of C-peptide
- Insulin deficiency results in diabetes mellitus, one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the general population
- Insulin is also present in tumors of b-cell origin such as insulinoma.
