Glucagon-like Peptide 2 EIA (mouse)

Yanaihara Institute

Catalog No.: YII-YK142-EX

This EIA kit is used for quantitative determination of mouse GLP-2 in serum or plasma samples. The kit is characterized for sensitive quantification, high specificity and no influence with other components in serum or plasma and needlessness of sample pre-treatment. Mouse GLP-2 standard is highly purified synthetic product. Supplementary: Competitive

Applicable Sample: Serum, Plasma

Other: The proglucagon gene is expressed in both pancreatic A cell and intestinal L cell. Tissue-specific posttranslational processing of proglucagon by the prohormone convertase produced the different proglucagon derived peptides( PGDPs ) in both pancreas and intestine. The most notable pancreatic PGDP is glucagon, whereas the L cell produces several structurally related peptides, including glucagon-like peptide(GLP)-1 and GLP-2, as well as glicentin and oxyntomodulin, which contain glucagon sequence in their molecules. Among PGDPs, GLP-2 has recently been found to show intestinal epithelial proliferation
