Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide (A2) Antibody

Abbiotec's Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide (A2) Antibody is a Mouse monoclonal antibody. The Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide (A2) Antibody was generated using GIP, gastric inhibitory polypeptide as the antigen and it reacts with Human. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA. Human gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) is a 42-amino-acid peptide belonging to the glucagon-secretin family of peptide hormones. It is secreted by endocrine cells in the duodenal mucosa and stimulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion as well as GLP-1 release from more distal endocrine (L) cells in the intestinal mucosa. GIP shows amino-acid sequence similarities to glucagon, GLP-1 and GLP-2 (from approximately 50% identity for glucagon to 30% identity for GLP-2). This antibody binds human GIP but does not cross-react with GLP-1 or -2, PACAP, glucagon or VIP. Cross-reactivity with porcine GIP has not been determined
