General description

Glucagon is a hormone peptide produced in Langerhans islets α-cells in the pancreas. The active form of glucagon is derived from the cleavage of preproglucagon (GCG). Additional cleavage peptides are oxyntomodulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1).

Immunogen

Polymerized porcine glucagon

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Glucagon antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunofluorescence staining. The product may be used in several immunochemical techniques including immunohistochemistry and radioimmunoassay (RIA).

Biochem/physiol Actions

The biological activities of pancreatic glucagon include glycogenolysis, lipolysis, gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis. Glucagon has an antagonistic effect in the maintenance of normoglycemia to those of insulin and is suppressed by GLP1. Thus up-regulation of glucagon is leading to increased blood glucose levels. Glucagon-specific antibodies would prove useful as a Langerhans islets α cell, glucagonomas and tumor markers applying immunohistochemical techniques, and as an analytical tool in quantification of the hormone.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
