Specifications
Target Information
Rat Procalcitonin (PCT) is a precursor peptide of the hormone calcitonin, produced by the thyroid C cells and other tissues. It is a biomarker for bacterial infections and sepsis, with elevated levels indicating systemic inflammation. PCT is synthesized as an inactive precursor and can be detected in plasma during severe infections. It is not typically elevated in viral infections, making it a useful indicator for distinguishing between bacterial and non-bacterial causes of inflammation.
