Beta Cell Marker Antibodies

Beta Cell Marker Antibodies Overview

Beta Cell Marker Antibodies target proteins and transcription factors that define the identity and function of pancreatic beta cells. These specialized endocrine cells, located in the islets of Langerhans, are responsible for the synthesis and secretion of insulin, a hormone essential for maintaining glucose homeostasis. Dysfunction or destruction of beta cells is central to the development of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as other metabolic disorders.

Common beta cell markers include insulin, C-peptide, PDX1, NKX6.1, MAFA, and GLUT2. Detection of these markers provides insights into beta cell development, proliferation, stress, and regenerative potential. The Beta Cell Marker Antibodies collection provides validated reagents for identifying beta cells, monitoring their activity, and investigating mechanisms of disease progression and therapy.
