The C-peptide consists of 31-amino-acid polypeptide which is responsible to connects A-chain to B-chain of an human insulin.

C-peptide is generally called connecting peptide. It plays many vital roles in human insulin such as:

  1. Insulin synthesis: it helps in the synthesis of insulin, that further regulates the blood sugar level in humans.
  2. Diagnosis of diabetes and hypoglycemia: to diagnose diabets or hypoglycemia C-peptide blood serum levels are measured.
  3. Diagnosis of multiple enocrine neoplasm syndromes: C-peptide present in human insulin determines gastrinomas which is related to  Multiple Endocrine Neoplasm syndromes (MEN 1).
  4. Diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS): C-peptide levels are determined to check the insuline restistance in women's that shows responsible for PCOS.
