Description

The GCGR protein is a glucagon G protein-coupled receptor that is critical in blood glucose regulation and actively controls hepatic glucose production. It promotes glycogen hydrolysis and gluconeogenesis, which are critical for the fasting response. GCGR Protein-VLP, Human (HEK293) is the recombinant human-derived GCGR protein, expressed by HEK293, with tag free.

Background

The GCGR Protein serves as a G-protein coupled receptor for glucagon, playing a pivotal role in the regulation of blood glucose levels and glucose homeostasis. It actively regulates hepatic glucose production by promoting glycogen hydrolysis and gluconeogenesis, making it a key mediator of responses to fasting. Upon ligand binding, the receptor undergoes a conformational change that initiates signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), subsequently modulating downstream effectors such as adenylate cyclase. This modulation results in the activation of adenylate cyclase. Furthermore, the receptor contributes to signaling via a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system, underscoring its multifaceted role in glucose regulation.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Reconstitution Calculator

  • Dilution Calculator

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×
C1   V1   C2   V2

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
