GIP ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein gastric inhibitory polypeptide, which is encoded by the GIP gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a potent stimulator of insulin secretion and relatively poor inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 153 residues, a mass of 17.1 kDa, and is a member of the Glucagon protein family. It is known to be secreted. Other alias names for this target include glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and incretin hormone.
The detection range for different GIP ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.1 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
