Application

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.

Monoclonal Anti-Insulin antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoblotting assay and ELISA.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.
