Scientific Data Images for Human GLP-1 Antibody

GLP-1/Glucagon antibody in Human Pancreas by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

GLP-1/Glucagon in Human Pancreas.

GLP-1/Glucagon was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human pancreas using Mouse Anti-Human GLP-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB12491) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to islet cells.

Background: GLP-1

Glucagon is a preprotein which is cleaved into four distinct peptides, including the hormone GLP-1 (aa 98-128).  GLP-1 is a secreted hormone with multiple effects upon the intestine (gastric motility), pancreas (glucose dependent insulin release) and hypothalamic pituitary axis (modulates LH, THS, CRH, ocytocin and vasopressin secretion). It also affects plasma glucagon levels.  GLP-1 is expressed in enteroendocrine L cells and neurons of the caudal brainstem which project to the forbain, the amygdala and the hypothalamus. Recent studies show pancreatic intra-islet GLP-1 expression, which is regulated by cytokines, hyperglycemia and cell injury.
