Indicators
Hexahydro-2-oxo-1H-thieno(3,4-d)imidazole-4-pentanoic acid. Growth factor present in minute amounts in every living cell. It occurs mainly bound to proteins or polypeptides and is abundant in liver, kidney, pancreas, yeast, and milk. The biotin content of cancerous tissue is higher than that of normal tissue.
Tests
A quantitative measurement for assessing the amount of protein present in a blood sample.
For professionals
Indicators
This gene plays a role in the bone morphogenetic protein signaling pathway.
Tests
The determination of the amount of breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein present in a sample.
For professionals
Indicators
This gene is involved in DNA double-strand break repair.
Tests
An immunoassay that detects bladder cancer antigen, which is comprised of various members of the complement factor H-related protein (CFHrp) family, in urine.
For professionals
Tests
A BUN, or blood urea nitrogen test, measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood. Urea nitrogen is a waste product that forms as your body breaks down proteins. It's carried in your blood and then removed by your kidneys when you urinate (pee).

Indicators
C peptide (31 aa, ~3 kDa) is encoded by the human INS gene. This protein is involved in both signal transduction and the modulation of blood flow.
Tests
This test measures the level of C-peptide in a sample of your blood or urine (pee). C-peptide is a chain of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that your pancreas makes in the process of making insulin. Insulin is a hormone that your pancreas makes to help blood glucose (blood sugar) get into your cells, where it can be used for energy. This helps keep your blood glucose at healthy levels.

Indicators
C-reactive protein (224 aa, ~25 kDa) is encoded by the human CRP gene. This protein is cleaved during biological activation and is associated with host defense mechanisms and inflammatory responses.
Tests
An acute-phase protein that rises rapidly during inflammation; used to detect and monitor infection and inflammatory disease.
For professionals
Tests
A c-reactive protein test measures the level of c-reactive protein (CRP) in a sample of your blood. Your liver makes CRP in response to inflammation.
