MyBioSource.com's GLP2R Antibody (Center) is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, and Western Blot. The GLP2R Antibody (Center) was generated using GLP2 receptor, and GLP2R as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
The GLP2 receptor (GLP2R) is a G protein-coupled receptor
superfamily member closely related to the glucagon receptor ans
GLP1 receptor. Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP2) is a 33-amino acid
proglucagon-derived peptide produced by intestinal enteroendocrine
cells. Like glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) and glucagon itself, it
is derived from the proglucagon peptide encoded by the GCG gene.
GLP2 stimulates intestinal growth and upregulates villus height in
the small intestine, concomitant with increased crypt cell
proliferation and decreased enterocyte apoptosis. Moreover, GLP2
prevents intestinal hypoplasia resulting from total parenteral
nutrition. GLP2R, a G protein-coupled receptor superfamily member
is expressed in the gut and closely related to the glucagon
receptor (GCGR) and the receptor for GLP1 (GLP1R). [provided by
