General description

Glucagon is a peptide hormone secreted by pancreatic alphacells that plays a vital role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. It acts as acounter-regulatory hormone to insulin by stimulating glycogenolysis andgluconeogenesis in the liver, thereby increasing blood glucose levels duringfasting or hypoglycemia. In addition to its role in glucose metabolism,glucagon also influences lipid metabolism and energy balance, making it a keybiomarker in metabolic and endocrine research.

Altered glucagon levels are associated with metabolicdisorders such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and insulin resistance. Accuratemeasurement of glucagon is essential for understanding pancreatic function,evaluating therapeutic interventions, and studying the hormonal regulation ofenergy metabolism.

Application

Features and Benefits

  • Ultra-Sensitive Detection — Quantifies glucagon down to 0.20 pg/mL
  • Wide Dynamic Range — Covers 0.20–200 pg/mL
  • SMC® Technology — Enables single molecule resolution for precise quantification
  • Species Compatibility — Validated for human, mouse, and rat plasma
  • Detect Glucagon at Femto-Level Sensitivity — Ideal for metabolic and endocrine research
  • Reliable Across Species — Supports translational studies from animal models to human samples
  • Accurate Results with Minimal Interference — Trusted data in complex biological fluids
