pProcalcitonin

Alternative Names: Calca, Calcitonin, Preprocalcitonin

Procalcitonin is a peptide hormone primarily secreted by thyroid C cells and some lung endocrine cells. It is typically cleaved into three fragments, including an N terminal residue, calcitonin, and katacalcin. Elevated levels of procalcitonin occur during bacterial infection, trauma, or shock.

Product Description

Recombinant Porcine Procalcitonin is a protein belonging to the calcitonin family, specifically produced in pigs through genetic engineering techniques. It has a molecular weight of approximately 14 kDa. This biomarker is used in clinical settings for the early detection of bacterial infections and sepsis in patients. Its high specificity and sensitivity make it a valuable tool for healthcare professionals in diagnosing and monitoring these conditions.
