Procalcitonin [Mass/volume] in Serum, Plasma or Blood by Immunoassay

Active

Part Description

LP31682-5 Procalcitonin
Procalcitonin (PCT) is a precursor of the hormone calcitonin, which is involved with calcium homeostasis, and is produced by the C-cells of the thyroid gland. It is there that procalcitonin is cleaved into calcitonin, katacalcin and a protein residue. It is not released into the blood stream of healthy individuals. With the derangements that a severe infection with an associated systemic response brings, the blood levels of procalcitonin may rise to 100 ng/ml. In blood serum, procalcitonin has a half-life of 25 to 30 hours. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
