Strengthening our leadership position in immunoassays, Enzo Life Sciences now offers Amp'd™ GLP-1 ELISA Kit – a rapid ELISA for the detection of the active form of Glucagon-Like Peptide 1.


GLP-1 functions in the regulation of blood glucose through insulin, and plays a role in obesity and diabetes. It is the most potent promoter of insulin secretion and an important gastrointestinal peptide hormone, or incretin. In response to eating, increased levels of GLP-1 stimulate insulin secretion and inhibit glucagon release leading to lower blood glucose levels. These positive effects of GLP-1 on glucose regulation make it an important target for the management of type 2 diabetes and the study of obesity.


The Amp'd™ GLP-1 ELISA Kit can be used to quantify the active form of human GLP-1 in serum and plasma samples. This sensitive assay is fully quantitative, with the ability to detect as low as 5.5 pg/ml of Glucagon-like...


With this new kit, Enzo Life Sciences extends our line of sensitive Amp’d ELISA kits, which includes the Amp’d HSP70 High Sensitivity Kit. Amp’d ELISA kits employ a novel signal enhancing step to amplify low signal for increased sensitivity.
