(10-1273-01)

Kit format: 1 x 96 wells

Measurement range: 3 – 300 pmol/L (24 – 2400 pg/mL)

Highly specific, sensitive and rapid method for determination of glicentin

No cross-reactivity to circulating proglucagon derived gut peptides

Assay buffers and calibrators have been optimized to prevent degradation and aggregation of glicentin

Description

The Mercodia Glicentin ELISA is a high-quality immunoassay for the quantification of human glicentin in serum, plasma, and cell culture media.

Glicentin is a proglucagon-derived gut peptide that is released in the gut in response to feed intake. It is present in high levels in the circulation after stimulation and is often a problem when measuring glucagon and other proglucagon derivates because of its shared sequence. The Mercodia Glicentin ELISA however, has no cross-reactivity to such circulating proglucagon-derived gut peptides.
