Bioactivity | Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, porcine is a peptide hormone, produced by pancreatic α-cells. Glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis[1]. Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, porcine activates HNF4α and increases HNF4α phosphorylation[2][3]. | ||||||
Invitro | Upon binding to its receptor Gcgr, Glucagon activates cAMP-PKA signaling to stimulate hepatic glucose production (HGP) and cause hyperglycemia[1]. Glucagon stimulates both hepatic kisspeptin1 production and gluconeogenesis[1].Glucagon (100 nM) represses CYP7A1 mRNA expression in human primary hepatocytes[3].Glucagon (100 nM) increases phosphorylayion of HNF4α[3].
