| Description: | Glucagon is initially synthesised as proglucagon, which is 180 amino acids in length and is cleaved proteolytically. It contains a region corresponding to Glucagon itself, in addition to a signal peptide, spacer regions and two Glucagon-like peptide sequences. GLP1 is encoded by the fourth exon of the six in the human Glucagon gene. It is 37 amino acids in length and has 48% amino acid sequence homology to Glucagon, and is thought to have arisen by gene duplication. The sequence of GLP1 is conserved across many species, however, indicating that it has a particular function. GLP1 is a potent insulin secretagogue, renders pancreatic beta cells 'glucose-competent' and may be useful in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. |
| Further Information: | This GLP1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 85-112 amino acids from the Central region of human GLP1. |
