Product Overview

Description: Chicken glucagon (GCG) ELISA kit (0.1 ng/mL) is an ELISA-based in vitro research tool designed specifically for the quantitative detection of GCG in chicken samples with a minimum detectable dose (sensitivity) of 0.1 ng/mL. The kit is highly sensitive and easy to use.

Assay Principle: A monoclonal capture antibody specific for GCG is pre-coated onto the microtiter plate. Standards or samples are added to the wells to allow the GCG to be captured. To quantify the analyte, a standardized preparation of HRP-conjugated polyclonal antibody is added to each well, forming a "sandwich" complex. After incubation, the wells are thoroughly washed to remove unbound components. A substrate solution is introduced, and the HRP enzyme reacts to produce a color signal directly proportional to the amount of GCG bound. The reaction is terminated by a sulfuric acid solution, and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at 450 nm.

Background: Glucagon is a hormone secreted by A cells of the islets of Langerhans, playing a pivotal role in glucose metabolism and homeostasis. Its primary function is to regulate blood glucose levels by promoting gluconeogenesis and inhibiting glycolysis. The dynamic equilibrium between glucagon and insulin is crucial for maintaining healthy metabolism. The detection of glucagon and analysis of its associated pathways provide key insights into understanding and treating obesity.
