C-peptide is a peptide which is made when proinsulin is split into insulin and C-peptide. They split when proinsulin is released from the pancreas into the blood in response to a rise in serum glucose - one C-peptide for each insulin molecule.C-peptide is the abbreviation for "connecting peptide", although its name was probably also inspired by the fact that insulin is also composed of an "A" chain and a "B" chain. C-peptide was discovered in 1967. The first documented use of the C-peptide test was in 1972. It should not to be confused with c-reactive protein or Protein C.C-peptide functions in repair of the muscular layer of the arteries. C-peptide also exerts beneficial therapeutic effects on many complications associated with diabetes mellitus, such as for instance diabetic neuropathy and other diabetes-induced ailments. In the kidneys, C-peptide prevents diabetic nephropathy, and in the heart blood flow is improved in diabetic patients.

Rabbit C-Peptide (CP) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate CP in samples. An antibody specific for CP has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyCP present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for CP is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of CP bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
