C-peptide, Ko te peptide hono, he waikawa amino mekameka poto e whai wāhi nui ana ki te hanga o te insulin i roto i te tinana. He hua taha tēnei o te hanga insulin, ā, ka tukuna e te repe taiaki i roto i te nui ōrite ki te insulin. Mā te mārama ki te C-peptide ka taea te whakarato i ngā māramatanga whai hua ki ngā momo āhuatanga hauora, inā koa te mate huka.

Ina whakaputa te repe taiaki i te insulin, ka puta tuatahi he ngota nui ake e kiia nei ko te proinsulin. Kātahi ka wehea te proinsulin kia rua ngā wāhanga: te insulin me te C-peptide. Ahakoa ka āwhina te insulin ki te whakahaere i ngā taumata huka toto mā te whakatairanga i te mimiti o te huka ki roto i ngā pūtau, kāore he mahi tika a te C-peptide ki te pākia o te huka. Heoi, he tohu nui tēnei mō te aromatawai i te mahi a te repe taiaki.

Ko tētahi o ngā whakamahinga matua mō te ine i ngā taumata C-peptide ko te tātaritanga me te whakahaere i te mate huka. Mō te hunga whai mate huka momo 1, ka whakaekea e te pūnaha ārai mate ngā pūtau beta e whakaputa ana i te insulin i roto i te repeure, ā, ka whakangaromia, ka hua ake he iti, he kore rānei e kitea ngā taumata o te insulin me te C-peptide. He rerekē, ko te hunga whai mate huka momo 2 he maha ngā wā he taumata C-peptide noa, he teitei rānei nā te mea ka whakaputa te tinana i te insulin engari he ātete ki ōna pānga.

Ka taea hoki e ngā inenga C-peptide te āwhina i te wehewehe i waenga i te mate huka momo 1 me te mate huka momo 2, te ārahi i ngā whakatau maimoatanga, me te aroturuki i te whai huatanga o te maimoatanga. Hei tauira, ko te tūroro he mate huka momo 1 e whakawhitihia ana ngā pūtau moutere, ka aroturukitia pea ōna taumata C-peptide hei aromatawai i te angitu o te tikanga.

Haunga te mate huka, kua rangahauhia te C-peptide mō ōna pānga tiaki pea ki ngā momo kiko. E kī ana ētahi rangahau he āhuatanga ārai-mumura pea tō te C-peptide ka āwhina i te whakaiti i ngā raruraru e pā ana ki te mate huka, pērā i te kino o te io me te whatukuhu.

Hei whakamutunga, ahakoa kāore te C-peptide e pā tika ki ngā taumata huka toto, he tohu nui tēnei mō te mārama me te whakahaere i te mate huka. Mā te ine i ngā taumata C-peptide, ka taea e ngā kaiwhakarato hauora te mārama ki te mahi a te repe taiaki, te wehewehe i waenga i ngā momo mate huka, me te whakarite i ngā mahere maimoatanga kia rite ki ngā hiahia takitahi.
