GLP1 ELISA kits are assays designed to measure levels of the peptide hormone GLP1 in biological samples, such as plasma, serum, culture extracts, and cell lysates. Glucagon-like peptide 1, or GLP-1, is a peptide with a length of 30-31 amino acid resiudes that is notably expressed in the pancreas, gut and brain. GLP1 functions to promote insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. In humans, GLP1 is encoded by the proglucagon gene, GCG. GLP1 ELISA kits utilize microtiter plates coated with specific antibodies and conjugated detection enzymes. The assay will produce a detectable signal proportional to the amount of GLP1 antigens found in the sample.
