Glucagon is a pancreatic peptide hormone that, as a counterregulatory hormone for insulin, stimulates glucose release by the liver and maintains glucose homeostasis. First described as a glucagon binding entity functionally linked to adenylyl cyclase, the glucagon receptor is a member of the family B receptors within the G protein coupled superfamily ...

Guinea Pig Glucagon Differs From Other Mammalian Glucagons
Diabetes, 1986Mammalian glucagon is thought to be highly conserved. Glucagons from pig, cow, human, rat, and hamster have identical amino acid sequences, whereas the amino acid contents of rabbit and camel glucagons are consistent with this 29-amino acid sequence. It had earlier been reported that guinea pig (GP) glucagon contains 40 amino acids.

Glucagon and the Glucagon-Like Peptides
Pancreas, 1990Glucagon and the glucagon-like peptides are encoded within a larger precursor, proglucagon. The proglucagon gene is expressed in the pancreas, intestine, and brain, giving rise to a single proglucagon mRNA transcript that is identical in all tissues. Tissue-specific posttranslational processing of proglucagon accounts for the different molecular forms ...

Digestion, 1978
From the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract a number of peptides can be extracted, which are glucagon-like in their behavior towards antisera raised against the pancreatic hormone. The biochemistry and physiology of these peptides are critically reviewed.

Diabetes, 1998
Proglucagon contains the sequence of two glucagonlike peptides, GLP-1 and GLP-2, secreted from enteroendocrine cells of the small and large intestine. GLP-1 lowers blood glucose in both NIDDM and IDDM patients and may be therapeutically useful for treatment of patients with diabetes.

Glucagon and Glucagon-like Peptides in Fishes
1996Glucagon and glucagon-like peptides (GLPs) are coencoded in the vertebrate proglucagon gene. Large differences exist between fishes and other vertebrates in gene structure, peptide expression, peptide chemistry, and function of the hormones produced.
