Supplier: Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences EZGLP1T36BK

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a 30 amino acid gut hormone secreted from the intestinal L-cells. The GLP-1 sequence is highly conserved among mammals and is released in its active form (7-36) in response to food intake. It is quickly degraded into its inactive form (9-36) after cleavage by DPPIV. GLP-1 reduces glucose levels by regulating pancreatic secretion slowing gastric emptying and lowering the desire for food intake. Therefore it is an important biomarker for the study of diabetes and obesity. This kit measures both the active (7-36) and inactive (9-36) forms of GLP-1.
