Related Product Information for anti-GCG antibody

Glucagon is initially synthesised as proglucagon, which is 180 amino acids in length and is cleaved proteolytically. It contains a region corresponding to Glucagon itself, in addition to a signal peptide, spacer regions and two Glucagon-like peptide sequences. GLP1 is encoded by the fourth exon of the six in the human Glucagon gene. It is 37 amino acids in length and has 48% amino acid sequence homology to Glucagon, and is thought to have arisen by gene duplication. The sequence of GLP1 is conserved across many species, however, indicating that it has a particular function. GLP1 is a potent insulin secretagogue, renders pancreatic beta cells 'glucose-competent' and may be useful in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is actually a preproprotein that is cleaved into four distinct mature peptides. One of these, glucagon, is a pancreatic hormone that counteracts the glucose-lowering action of insulin by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Glucagon is a ligand for a specific G-protein linked receptor whose signalling pathway controls cell proliferation. Two of the other peptides are secreted from gut endocrine cells and promote nutrient absorption through distinct mechanisms. Finally, the fourth peptide is similar to glicentin, an active enteroglucagon. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

GCG: Glucagon plays a key role in glucose metabolism and homeostasis. Regulates blood glucose by increasing gluconeogenesis and decreasing glycolysis. A counterregulatory hormone of insulin, raises plasma glucose levels in response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Plays an important role in initiating and maintaining hyperglycemic conditions in diabetes. Glucagon release is stimulated by hypoglycemia and inhibited by hyperglycemia, insulin, and somatostatin. GLP-1 and GLP-2 are induced in response to nutrient ingestion. 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. GLP1 and GLP2 are also secreted in selected neurons in the brain. Belongs to the glucagon family.
