Product details:
Human GLP2 ELISA Kit (ab288170) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human GLP2 protein in serum, EDTA plasma, citrate plasma, heparin plasma and cell culture supernatant samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human GLP2 with 3.01 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP2) also known as glucagon-like peptide-2 and GLP-2 is a peptide that is derived from the proglucagon gene and weighs approximately 4.2 kDa. It is expressed mostly in the intestinal mucosa particularly in the L-cells of the ileum and colon. GLP2 is a 33-amino-acid peptide hormone that is secreted in response to nutrient intake. This peptide is involved in various bodily functions acting mainly in the gastrointestinal tract.
Biological function summary
GLP2 functions to enhance intestinal growth and nutrient absorption. It promotes mucosal epithelial growth increases villus height and reduces gut permeability. These actions make GLP2 critical for maintaining the structural and functional integrity of the gastrointestinal tract. It operates independently and is not part of a larger protein complex but works alongside similar hormones for gut homeostasis.
Pathways
GLP2 is involved in the enteroendocrine signaling pathway. This includes the modulation of the GLP2 receptor which impacts intestinal growth and function. The peptide also shows interplay with proteins like glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) as both affect energy balance and glucose homeostasis although through different mechanisms. GLP2's primary role in enhancing nutrient absorption complements GLP1's efforts in glucose regulation.
GLP2's link to short bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease highlights its therapeutic potential. Its ability to improve intestinal adaptation and reduce inflammation positions GLP2 as a candidate for treating these conditions. Additionally a connection exists with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) due to their common origin and overlapping pathways although each has distinct functions and disease relevance.
