Glucagon is secreted in the A cells of the islets of Langerhans. GLP-1, GLP-2, oxyntomodulin and glicentin are secreted from enteroendocrine cells throughout the gastrointestinal tract. GLP-1 and GLP-2 are also secreted in selected neurons in the brain.
Secreted.
Boster Bio has created antibodies against GCG cytokine. The antibodies have been tested on a variety of platforms with known positive and negative samples in order to confirm their specificity and high affinity. In addition, Boster rewards scientists who are among the first to review a product by offering credits to the product. This is a way to encourage scientists across the world to share their findings.
