Description

Acetylinsulin is a chemically modified derivative of the peptide hormone insulin, where specific amino acid residues have been acetylated. This modification is crucial for research into insulin's structure-activity relationships, stability, and receptor binding mechanisms. It serves as a vital biochemical tool for pharmaceutical R&D, academic research, and diagnostic development, particularly in the study of diabetes and metabolic disorders. The compound is identified by CAS No. 11061-73-7.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a key reference standard and model compound for studying insulin's biological activity, stability, and interaction with its receptor.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in the research and development of novel insulin analogs and delivery systems for diabetes treatment.
• Metabolic Studies: A critical tool in academic and industrial laboratories investigating carbohydrate metabolism and endocrine signaling pathways.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Serves as a component or calibrant in the production of immunoassays and diagnostic kits for insulin detection.
• Proteomics & Peptide Chemistry: Utilized in studies focusing on post-translational modifications, peptide synthesis, and protein engineering.
• Quality Control: Acts as a reference material for the analysis and quality assurance of insulin-based pharmaceutical products.

Quality Control

Our Acetylinsulin is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as purity (by HPLC), peptide content, and acetyl group incorporation is provided with every shipment to support your research and compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) or as specified on the label. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed in a dry environment and away from direct light to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
