Description

General description

Glucagon is the most important counter-regulatory hormone to insulin in blood glucose homeostasis. It elevates blood glucose levels by stimulating gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis while inhibiting glycogenesis and gylcolysis in the liver. This hormone is extremely important in studying therapeutic targets for diabetes, particularly Type I.

Specificity

Glucagon (Human, Mouse, Rat and Porcine) 100%
Oxyntomodulin (Human, Mouse and Rat) <5%
Glucagon (1-18) 0%
Glucagon 19-29 (mini Glucagon) 0%

Used to detect/quantify: Glucagon

Application

This assay is a chemiluminescent sandwich ELISA & is based on the capture of glucagon molecules in the sample, after extraction & reconstitution.
