SYBR Green qPCR primers for detecting human GCG (glucagon) gene expression by real-time PCR. Each set comes with primer sequences and reaction conditions.
Human GCG qPCR Primer Set – glucagon
Also known as: GLP-1, GLP1, GLP2, GRPP
About this gene: The GCG protein is a proglucagon precursor that is cleaved into four distinct mature peptides. One of these, glucagon, is a pancreatic hormone that counteracts the glucose-lowering action of insulin by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver. In addition, glucagon promotes lipolysis and ketone body formation during prolonged fasting or stress.
Gene details: NCBI Gene ID: 2641; HGNC ID: HGNC:4191; UniProt: P01275; RefSeq (MANE Select): NM_002054.5; Chromosome location: 2q24.2
What you get: Primers are provided as a 40 µl solution containing both primers at a final concentration of 50 µM in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.1 mM EDTA. Dilute with H2O as needed prior to use. This amount is sufficient for 1,000 PCR reactions of 20 µl, assuming a final primer concentration of 0.1 µM.
