Rat GLP-1 PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBRS0134)

The GLP-1 (Glucagon-Lefore Peptide-1) target is a 30-amino acid incretin hormone secreted by intestinal L-cells in response to nutrient intake. This incretin plays a central role in glucose-dependent insulin secretion, glucagon suppression, gastric emptying, and satiety signaling, making it a critical biomarker in metabolic disease research.

This competitive immunoassay from Assay Genie is intended for the quantitative measurement of endogenous GLP-1 in rat-derived serum and cell culture supernatants. The competitive format is well-suited for detecting small peptide analytes such as the active GLP-1(7-36) amide and GLP-1(7-37) forms.

Key research applications include:

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus investigation
• Obesity and bariatric surgery studies
• Incretin-based drug development and screening
• Metabolic syndrome models
• DPP-IV inhibitor research

The kit includes a pre-coated microplate, peptide standards, detection antibody, and assay buffers. Samples are processed in a small reaction volume and incubated before color development. Store reagents refrigerated at 4°C and protect from light to maintain stability across multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Intended for research use only; not approved for diagnostic or clinical applications.
