Product Overview
Clone 18G11 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes pro-glucagon (gene GCG) in human samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 20.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 4 kDa.
Proglucagon (GCG) is processed into several hormones depending on the tissue. In pancreatic α cells it yields glucagon, which raises blood glucose by stimulating hepatic glucose output, and in intestinal L cells it yields GLP-1 and GLP-2, which boost insulin secretion and support gut growth. GCG products are central to studies of glucose homeostasis, diabetes and obesity.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
