Target
Glucagon is a peptide hormone of 29 amino-acid residues produced by the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets. Its effect is to raise blood sugar as a stress hormone and counter-regulatory hormone for insulin. It is produced by cell-type-specific processing of proglucagon, which in the alpha cells is split to form glicentin-related pancreatic polypeptide, glucagon and major proglucagon fragment, while the same precursor is split to form glicentin, oxyntomodulin (C-terminally extended glucagon-37), GLP-1 and GLP-2 in the L cells of the intestinal mucosa.

Application

ELISA: ABS 061-09 binds free glucagon in solution. ABS 061-09 when used as a capture antibody forms a sandwich ELISA pair with ABS 058-08 as a biotinylated detection antibody for measuring glucagon.

IHC: ABS 061-09 was used in IHC in formaline fixed paraffin embedded tissue with a dilution of 1:8000.

Formalin fixed paraffin-embedded human pancreas tissue stained with ABS 061-09. Alpha cells of the Langerhans islet were stained strongly. Dilution: 1:8000

IF: ABS 061-09 was used in IF with a dilution of 1:4000.

IF staining in human pancreas tissue stained with ABS 061-09. Signal is strong in alpha cells. Dilution: 1:4000.
