GIP Antibody (911205) [Unconjugated] (MAB8864)

GIP was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human stomach using Mouse Anti-Human GIP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB8864) at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to gastric glands.

Background

Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), also known as the glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide is a member of the secretin family of hormones. GIP, together with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), belongs to the group of metabolic hormones called incretins that stimulate a decrease in blood glucose levels. GIP is derived from a 153-amino acid pro-protein encoded by the GIP gene and circulates as a biologically active 42-amino acid peptide.  Engagement of Gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptors (GIPR) by GIP on pancreatic beta cells activates adenylate cyclase to regulate insulin compensation in the presence of high circulating glucose.

GIP (1-39) is an endogenous truncated form of GIP that has been shown to be more potent in stimulating insulin secretion from rat pancreatic islets.
