Human Glucagon (GCG) ELISA Kit

Manufactured by Assay Genie, this ELISA kit is designed for the precise quantification of glucagon (GCG) levels in human samples, including serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants and other biological fluids. The colorimetric assay supports research into glucose metabolism, diabetes and related metabolic disorders, where monitoring glucagon can provide insights into disease mechanisms and potential treatment strategies.

Key performance characteristics include a detection range of 15.6-1000 pg/mL and a sensitivity of 9.5 pg/mL. Intra-assay CV is 3.8% and inter-assay CV is 6.5%. The assay is reactive with human samples and demonstrates specificity for both natural and recombinant human glucagon.

Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone that counteracts the glucose-lowering action of insulin by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, helping to regulate blood glucose homeostasis. The kit is intended for research use only.
