GCGR Protein, Human (Cell-Free, His)

Cat. No.: HY-P702284
Handling Instructions

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, Human (Cell-Free, His) is the recombinant human-derived GCGR protein, expressed by E. coli Cell-free , with N-10*His labeled tag. The total length of GCGR Protein, Human (Cell-Free, His) is 452 a.a., with molecular weight of 54.1 kDa.

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, Human (Cell-Free, His) is the recombinant human-derived GCGR protein, expressed by E. coli Cell-free , with N-10*His labeled tag. The total length of GCGR Protein, Human (Cell-Free, His) is 452 a.a., with molecular weight of 54.1 kDa.

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.

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)
× = ×

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
