Antigen:

Glucagon-like peptide 1(7-36)amide (GLP-1(7-36)amide) is the principal active form of GLP-1, the other being GLP-1(7-37). GLP-1 is a peptide hormone of the glucagon family, produced by the L cells of the intestinal mucosa from the same prohormone as glucagon. The active forms are potent stimulators of glucose-dependent insulin secretion. The sequence of GLP-1 is fully conserved in all mammalian species examined so far.

Immunogen:

Synthetic GLP-1(7-36)amide coupled to carrier and adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide gel

Specificity:

HYB 147-06 is specific for the amidated C-terminus of the peptide and does not react with GLP-1(7-37) (1).

Epitope specificity:

C-terminal epitope of GLP-1(7-36)amide

Reactivity:

HYB 147-06 reacts with the amidated C-terminus of GLP-1(7-36)amide, GLP-1(9-36)amide and GLP-1(1-36)amide. HYB 147-06 can be used as capture antibody in sandwich ELISA (1) using HYB 147-12B or ABS 033-10B as detection antibody. HYB 147-06 has been used for the immunoblockade of endogenous GLP-1 in rats (2).
