Glucagon, a peptide hormone produced from proglucagon, is involved in the pathophysiology of diabetes. Plasma glucagon levels are currently measured by sandwich enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), but the currently used sandwich ELISA cross‐reacts with proglucagon‐derived peptides, thereby providing incorrect results in subjects with elevated plasma proglucagon‐derived peptide levels. We aimed to develop a more broadly reliable ELISA for measuring plasma glucagon levels.
