Chicken Glucagon (GC) ELISA Kit

Glucagon (GC) is a 29-amino-acid peptide hormone secreted by pancreatic alpha cells that counter-regulates insulin action by stimulating hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.

In avian physiology, glucagon additionally influences lipid metabolism, stress responses, and feed intake regulation.

This competitive inhibition immunoassay from Assay Genie quantifies endogenous chicken glucagon across blood-derived samples, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants, using a pre-immobilized antibody and a biotinylated detection reagent with streptavidin-HRP.

Reconstituted reagents should be stored refrigerated; unopened kit components remain stable when frozen at -20 degrees C.

Each microplate format provides pre-coated wells and is intended for research use only, supporting endocrinology, metabolic physiology, and poultry nutrition investigations.

The assay procedure follows a standard competitive ELISA workflow with sample, standard, and conjugate added to coated wells before chromogenic substrate development.
