GCG rabbit pAb from ELK Biotechnology Read more ›
GCG rabbit pAb is a research-use antibody from ELK Biotechnology for studying Glucagon in WB, IHC, IF, ELISA workflows with listed reactivity for Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey. Specifications and supporting documents below should be reviewed when planning the experiment.
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],
