Short Decsription
This product is a ready-to-use IHC kit for staining of Glucagon. The kit provides all reagents, from antigen retrieval to cover slip mounting, that require little to no diluting or handling prior to use. Simply apply the reagents to your sample slide according to the protocol and you're steps away from obtaining high-quality IHC data.
Description
Glucagon is a 29-amino acid peptide hormone secreted from the pancreatic alpha cells with a powerful stimulatory effect on hepatic glucose production acting to increase plasma glucose levels. Glucagon is best known as the counter-regulatory hormone to insulin, and normal glucose homeostasis depends largely on the balanced secretion of insulin and glucagon from the pancreatic beta and alpha cells, respectively.The regulation of glucose metabolism by glucagon is mediated by its direct action on the peripheral tissues such as the liver and also by the brain. Glucagon is also released postprandially in a transient manner, which was shown to be involved in inhibition of food intake via reduction of meal size.
