Immunogen Immunogen was synthetic peptide derived from human glucagon-like peptide 2. This antibody was produced from a rabbit immunized with the immunogen. The IgG fraction was purified from rabbit serum by ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by Protein A/G affinity chromatography.
Background The proglucagon gene is expressed in both pancreatic A cells and intestinal L cells. Tissue-specific posttranslational processing of proglucagon by the prohormone convertase produces the different proglucagon derived peptides (PGDPs) in both pancreas and intestine. The most notable pancreatic PGDP is glucagon, whereas the L cells produce several structurally related peptides, including glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and GLP-2, as well as glicentin and oxyntomodulin, which contain glucagon sequence in their molecules. Among PGDPs, GLP-2 has recently been found to show intestinal epithelial proliferation. GLP-1 has a major effect of enhancing the release of insulin in response to a glucose stimulus, and coincidentally, suppressing secretion of glucagon. GLP-1 has been shown to potently inhibit several aspects of digestive function, including gastric emptying, gastric secretion and pancreatic secretion.
