C-Peptide

    Last Updated: October 13, 2024

    C-peptide (short for "connecting peptide") is a polypeptide that is part of the production of insulin from its precursor molecule, proinsulin. In lab testing, C-peptide levels are an indirect measure of insulin production, which can help distinguish different types of diabetes.
