Human Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) ELISA Kit

This Sandwich ELISA kit from Assay Genie is designed for the quantitative measurement of Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) in human samples. The assay accepts serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants, and other biological fluids, and uses a colorimetric detection method with absorbance read at 450 nm. It offers a detection range of 15.6-1000 pg/mL and a sensitivity of 8.2 pg/mL.

Reported precision values are an intra-assay CV of 4.4% and an inter-assay CV of 7.9%. Spike-and-recovery performance is consistent across matrices, with serum averaging 96% (range 90-102%) and plasma averaging 98% (range 92-104%). The kit is specific for natural and recombinant human GLP-1 and is intended for cardiovascular research applications. GLP-1 is an incretin hormone secreted by ileal L cells in response to luminal nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids; it induces glucose-dependent insulin secretion while suppressing glucagon, inhibits gastric secretion and motility, and is a key target in diabetes and metabolic disorder research.
