Context: Islet amyloid is a feature of beta-cell failure in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and type 1 diabetes (T1D) recipients of islet transplants. Islet amyloid contains islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP; amylin), a circulating peptide that is produced in beta cells by processing of its precursor, proIAPP(1-67), via an intermediate form, proIAPP(1-48). Elevated proinsulin to C-peptide ratios in the plasma of persons with diabetes suggest defects in beta-cell prohormone processing.Objective: Determine whether plasma levels of precursor forms of IAPP are elevated in diabetes.Design, Setting, and Patients: We developed an immunoassay to detect proIAPP(1-48) in human plasma, and we determined the ratio of proIAPP(1-48) to mature IAPP in subjects with T1D, T2D, recipients of islet transplants, and healthy controls.Results: The proIAPP(1-48) immunoassay had a limit of detection of 0.18 +/- 0.06 pM and cross-reactivity with intact proIAPP(1-67)
