Anti-Glucagon Antibody (A282790)

Anti-Glucagon Antibody

Goat polyclonal antibody to Glucagon.

This antibody recognises glucagon, a pancreatic hormone whose actions are antagonistic to insulin, functioning to increase blood glucose through stimulation of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver. Glucagon is a ligand for the glucagon receptor, a G-protein linked receptor whose signalling pathway controls cell proliferation.Glucagon is secreted from A-cells within the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.

ELISA: 1:200 - 1:20,000
