Background

GLP1R, a Glucagon Receptor, has been suggested to affect the feelings of satiety or hunger, sensation of glucose levels, control of glucagon sensitivity of islets, and non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Glucagon-like peptide 1 is an incretin hormone produced by enteroendocrine L-cells in the intestinal mucosa. The hormone is released in response to food intake and plays an important role in maintaining blood glucose homeostasis. Stimulation of the GLP-1R by endogenous hormone induces multiple complementary mechanisms, which together result in a lowering of circulating blood glucose levels. These mechanisms include receptor-mediated enhancement of glucose-induced insulin secretion from pancreatic -cells, inhibition of gastric emptying with a delay in the gastrointestinal resorption of nutrients, inhibition of glucagon secretion, and inhibition of food intake. Desensitization of GLP1R on pancreatic beta-cells is one of the causes of non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). GLP1R knockout mice are viable, develop normally, but exhibit increased levels of blood glucose following oral glucose challenge in association with diminished levels of circulating insulin. Recently it has been shown that overexpression of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor improves learning in rats (During et al. 2003). GLP1R has been reported in pancreas, brain, heart, kidney, lung, and stomach. ESTs have been isolated from kidney and skin libraries.

1. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
