Islet of insulinoma amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a 37 amino acids monomeric polypeptide isolated from pancreatic amyloid. It is commonly found in the islet of patients with diabetes mellitus type II and in insulinomas. IAPP selectively inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose utilization and glycogen deposition in muscle, while not affecting adipocyte glucose metabolism.
Immunogen
IAPP monoclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to C-Terminus of IAPP (Human).

Tested Applications
IHC
IAPP antibody can be used in ELISA, and immunohistochemistry starting at 10 μg/mL.:
Recognizes the islet amyloid polypeptide (amylin). Is of high affinity, and stains islet amyloid peptide in intra-cellular insulin granules, intra-cellular amyloid and extra-cellular islet amyloid.
