Description
Introduction: Procalcitonin is a peptide hormone mainly produced by the C cells of the thyroid and certain endocrine cells of the lung. Under normal expression conditions, procalcitonin is immediately cleaved into three specific fragments, an N terminal residue, calcitonin and katacalcin. Levels of unprocessed procalcitonin rise significantly after bacterial infection, trauma or shock.
Description: Procalcitonin Canine Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (Ala26-Arg130) containing 115 amino acids including a 10 aa His tag at N-terminus. The total calculated molecular mass is 12.7kDa
