Chicken Glucagon Like Peptide 1 (GLP1) ELISA Kit

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a 30-amino acid incretin hormone secreted by intestinal L-cells in response to nutrient ingestion, where it drives glucose-dependent insulin release, suppresses glucagon, slows gastric emptying, and modulates appetite. In avian physiology, this peptide is of strong interest to researchers studying poultry metabolism, feed conversion efficiency, gastrointestinal endocrinology, and metabolic disease models in broiler or layer lines.

This competitive ELISA from Assay Genie specifically recognizes the chicken GLP-1 sequence, including its active amidated C-terminus, and is supplied with pre-coated plate wells, sealed standards, detection antibody, HRP conjugate, substrate solution, and wash buffer. The assay is built for a 50 uL sample volume per well, with results read on a standard microplate reader, and uses a chicken-specific antibody to detect the mature GLP-1 form with minimal cross-reactivity toward related proglucagon fragments such as glicentin, oxyntomodulin, and GLP-2.

Reconstituted standards and detection antibody should be aliquoted and stored frozen, with repeated freeze-thaw cycles avoided to preserve activity. The unopened kit should be kept refrigerated until first use. Intended for research use only, this assay supports studies in comparative endocrinology, gut hormone signaling, and nutritional regulation in chickens.
