• Sequence Length: 180

• Assay Type: Competitive Inhibition
• Samples: Serum, Plasma, Tissue Homogenates, Cell Lysates, Cell Culture Supernates and Other Biological Fluids
• Detection Range: 18.52-1500pg/mL
• Sensitivity: < 7.59pg/mL
• Application: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for Antigen Detection.
• Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Glucagon (GC) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
• Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Glucagon (GC) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
• CV(%) =: SD/meanX100
• Intra-Assay: CV<10%
• Inter-Assay: CV<12%
• Preparation and Storage: The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.; To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.

Related Product Information for GC elisa kit

This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific to Glucagon (GC) has been pre-coated onto a microplate. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between biotin labeled Glucagon (GC) and unlabeled Glucagon (GC) (Standards or samples) with the pre-coated antibody specific to Glucagon (GC). After incubation the unbound conjugate is washed off. Next, avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. The amount of bound HRP conjugate is reverse proportional to the concentration of Glucagon (GC) in the sample. After addition of the substrate solution, the intensity of color developed is reverse proportional to the concentration of Glucagon (GC) in the sample.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is actually a preproprotein that is cleaved into four distinct mature peptides. One of these, glucagon, is a pancreatic hormone that counteracts the glucose-lowering action of insulin by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Glucagon is a ligand for a specific G-protein linked receptor whose signalling pathway controls cell proliferation. Two of the other peptides are secreted from gut endocrine cells and promote nutrient absorption through distinct mechanisms. Finally, the fourth peptide is similar to glicentin, an active enteroglucagon. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

Glucagon plays a key role in glucose metabolism and homeostasis. Regulates blood glucose by increasing gluconeogenesis and decreasing glycolysis. A counterregulatory hormone of insulin, raises plasma glucose levels in response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Plays an important role in initiating and maintaining hyperglycemic conditions in diabetes.
