Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ The antibody reacts specifically against insulin by RIA and immunocytochemistry. It exhibits cross-reactivity with human proinsulin. The antibody binds to insulin with an affinity constant of 8.8 × 109 M-1 in RIA._x000D_ The insulin gene is mapped to human chromosome 11p15.5._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-Insulin antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoblotting assay and ELISA._x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-Insulin antibody produced in mouse was used in ELISA-based protein pin array assay to study the interactions between human αB crystalline and insulin. It was used for flow cytometric analysis of rat white blood cells and mast cells._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Insulin is a major regulatory hormone important in the metabolic processes, transport of glucose, amino acids and certain ions. It is also involved in the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. The biological effects of insulin are mediated by insulin receptor and it integrates multiple major signaling pathways. Abnormal insulin secretion or function leads to diabetes mellitus, obesity and other carbohydrate metabolism disorders. Insulin is known to stimulate cell division._x000D_ Insulin is a major regulatory hormone important in the metabolic processes, transport of glucose, amino acids and certain ions.
