The invention relates to a reagent for detection of biological activity of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). The reagent added into each 15 microliters of a detection sample comprises: 1, 35-45 microliters of a membrane reaction solution, 2, 15-25 microliters of a GLP-1 acceptor, 3, 10-20 microliters of a GLP-1 standard substance, 4, 5-15 microliters of sitgliptin phosphate, 5, 1-10 microliters of triphosadenine, 6, 1-10 microliters of guanosine triphosphate, 7, 5-15 microliters of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 8, 1-10 microliters of bovine serum albumin, 9, 50-150 microliters of a biotin-labeled mouse anti-human cAMP monoclonal antibody, 10, a microwell plate coated with a goat anti-human cAMP polyclonal antibody, 11, 50-150 microliters of an avidin-labeled horseradish peroxidase, 12, 300-400 microliters of a PBS washing liquor, 13, 50-150 microliters of a chromogenic substrate, and 14, 50-150 microliters of a stop buffer. The GLP-1 acceptor is produced by genetic recombination, is convenient for purification and can reduce the batch difference of the reagent. The GLP-1 acceptor is used as a probe for capturing GLP-1 so that detection sensitivity is improved, biological activity can be directly determined, sensitivity is high, and practicality is strong.
