C-Peptide-1, rat – 0.5 mg

Overview

The C-Peptide-1 (rat) is a critical peptide that binds effectively to cell surfaces, particularly to G protein-coupled receptors. This interaction initiates a cascade of intracellular signals dependent on calcium, playing a key role in cellular physiology. With a weight of 0.5 mg, this peptide is invaluable for researchers examining insulin dynamics and related metabolic pathways. Rats have been shown to exhibit reduced glucose-stimulated insulin release when exposed to rat C-Peptide-1, making it a vital tool for in vitro and in vivo studies.
