Understanding Islet Cell Antibody - 512
Islet cell antibodies (ICA) are autoantibodies produced by the immune system that target the islet cells in the pancreas, which contain insulin-producing beta cells. A specific target of these antibodies is ICA-512, also known as protein tyrosine phosphatase-like protein IA-2, a protein found in the beta cells. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakenly attacks these cells, leading to insulin deficiency.
The Islet Cell Antibody - 512 test measures the levels of ICA autoantibodies in the blood. Elevated ICA-5...
