Mouse Glucagon ELISA Kit | GC elisa kit
Mouse Glucagon (GC) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate GC in Mouse serum, plasma. An antibody specific for GC has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any GC present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for GC is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of GC bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes glucagon, a pancreatic hormone that counteracts the action of insulin in the bloodstream. The encoded protein is processed to generate glucagon and two other glucagon-like peptides, GLP1 and GLP2. Glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis and lipolysis. GLP1 induces secretion of insulin, suppresses glucagon secretion and inhibits feeding. GLP2 induces intestinal absorption of glucose by stimulating the growth of intestinal cells and preventing apoptosis. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
Uniprot Description
GCG: 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. Glucagon release is stimulated by hypoglycemia and inhibited by hyperglycemia, insulin, and somatostatin. GLP-1 and GLP-2 are induced in response to nutrient ingestion. Glucagon is secreted in the A cells of the islets of Langerhans. GLP-1, GLP-2, oxyntomodulin and glicentin are secreted from enteroendocrine cells throughout the gastrointestinal tract. GLP1 and GLP2 are also secreted in selected neurons in the brain. Belongs to the glucagon family.

Product Notes
The Mouse GC gcg (Catalog #AAA285474) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA285474 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse GC. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Glucagon, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
