Product Description

C-Amylin

Product Overview

C-Amylin, also known as consensus amylin (cAmylin), is a peptide based on a consensus sequence derived from comparisons of amylin sequences across multiple vertebrate species. Amylin, also referred to as islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), is a naturally occurring 37-amino-acid peptide hormone produced by pancreatic beta cells and released alongside insulin. It plays a role in glucose regulation, gastric emptying, and satiety signaling.

C-Amylin is of scientific interest in research investigating amylin structure, peptide-receptor interactions, metabolic signaling, and the molecular characteristics that influence peptide stability and aggregation. The precise sequence and modifications of a particular C-Amylin product should be verified against its supplier documentation, as these details can influence its biological and structural properties.

Handling & Reconstitution

For laboratory use, reconstitute with Bacteriostatic Water (BAC) or sterile saline. After reconstitution, the solution should be stored at 2–8°C (36–46°F) and used within the appropriate experimental window to maintain peptide stability.
