| Description | Glucagon is a 29 amino acid polypeptide processed from proglucagon (residues 33-61) in pancreatic alpha cells. In intestinal L-cells proglucagon is cleaved into glicentin, corresponding to proglucagon residues no. 1-69. Glicentin can further be processed into oxyntomodulin, corresponding to proglucagon residues no. 33-69. Moreover, a fragment of glucagon corresponding to its C-terminal part (residues no. 19-29), also designated mini-glucagon, is reported to be present in the pancreas in low amounts compared to the total glucagon content. In general, glucagon has an effect opposite that of insulin, i.e. it raises blood glucose levels. It causes the liver to convert glycogen into glucose, which is then released into the blood stream. With longer stimulation, glucagon action in the liver results in a glucose-sparing activation of free fatty acid oxidation and production of ketones. During hypoglycaemia, glucagon secretion offers a protective feedback mechanism, defending the organism against damaging effects of glucose deficiency in the brain and nerves. |
