Description
MyBioSource is the leading producer and supplier of human RBC Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) protein used for research and diagnostic manufacturing, as a glucose indicator and diabetic marker.
Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available.
Human Hemoglobin A1c, is used in enzymatic assays and is native and naturally glycated, is a form of hemoglobin which is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. It is formed in a non-enzymatic glycation pathway by hemoglobin's exposure to plasma glucose.
Normal levels of glucose produce a normal amount of glycated hemoglobin. As the average amount of plasma glucose increases, the fraction of glycated hemoglobin increases in a predictable way. This serves as a marker for average blood glucose levels over the previous months prior to the measurement
