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.

Proinsulin was first identified as the primary translation product of the insulin gene in Donald Steiner's laboratory in 1967, and was the first prohormone to be isolated and sequenced. While its role as an insulin precursor has been extensively studied

The induction of proinsulin expression by transgenesis or intramuscular gene therapy has been shown previously to retard retinal degeneration in mouse and rat models of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a group of inherited conditions that result in visual impairment. We investigated

Insulin plays a central role in the regulation of vertebrate metabolism. The hormone, the post-translational product of a single-chain precursor, is a globular protein containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues). Recent advances in human genetics have
