Product Specific Information

Mouse anti-Human Insulin antibody, clone 7F8 (E6E5), recognizes insulin, a major metabolic hormone produced by β-cells of the pancreas.

Target Information

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 a 51-amino acid polypeptide produced from a precursor peptide, proinsulin, which is post-translationally cleaved into two chains (peptide A and peptide B) linked by two disulfide bonds and one molecule of C-peptide.
Insulin deficiency results in diabetes mellitus, a major cause of morbidity and mortality. It is also present in tumors of β-cell origin such as insulinoma.
