    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Glucagon Antibody detects endogenous levels of total glucagon protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr62 of human glucagon protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Glucose homeostasis is regulated by a variety of hormones, including glucagon. Glucagon is synthesized as the precursor molecule proglucagon and is proteolytically processed to yield the mature peptide in α cells of the pancreatic islets. Glucagon causes the release of glucose from glycogen and stimulates gluconeogenesis in the liver (1,2).
