TYPE: SPECIAL RESEARCH ASSAY KITS – (HUMAN)
The Mercodia Total GLP-1 ELISA provides a chemiluminescent method for the quantitative determination of amidated glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) in human plasma and serum samples. The assay has been validated according to CLSI, FDA, and EMA guidelines.
GLP-1, is one of the major incretin hormones produced in the intestinal L-cells. It is secreted as the active forms (7-37)/(7-36) amide but is rapidly cleaved by the enzyme DPP4 forming the metabolites GLP-1 (9-37)/(9-36) amide. Although the two active forms have shown equal biological potency, the majority of circulating GLP-1 in humans is found in the amidated form.
