Target Details for Glucagon

Target: Glucagon (GCG)

Alternative Name: GCG

Background:

Synonyms: Glucagon,Glicentin,Glicentin-related polypeptide,GRPP,Oxyntomodulin,OXM,OXY,Glucagon,Glucagon-like peptide 1,GLP-1,Incretin hormone,Glucagon-like peptide 1 (7-37),GLP-1 (7-37),Glucagon-like peptide 1 (7-36),GLP-1 (7-36),Glucagon-like peptide 2,GLP-2,GCG,

Tissue Specificity: Glucagon is secreted in the A cells of the islets of Langerhans. GLP-1, GLP-2, oxyntomodulin and glicentin are secreted from enteroendocrine cells throughout the gastrointestinal tract. GLP-1 and GLP-2 are also secreted in selected neurons in the brain.

Background: GCG is also known as GLP1, or Glucagon. Glucagon is a 29-amino acid pancreatic hormone that counteracts the glucose-lowering action of insulin by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.?It is mapped to 2q36-2q37. GLP1, also known as 7-37 for the codons of the preproglucagon molecule which encode it, renders pancreatic beta-cells 'glucose-competent' and may be useful in the treatment of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Also, GLP1 is a potent insulin secretagogue.?It plays a major role in the enteroinsular axis, accounting, for example, for the finding that plasma insulin levels accompanying oral intake of glucose are greater than those observed when glucose is given intravenously.
