Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, rat, porcine

Overview

Glucagon (1-29) is a key peptide hormone produced by the alpha-cells of the pancreatic Islet of Langerhans. When blood glucose levels drop, glucagon is secreted to initiate processes that restore normal glucose concentrations. This hormone works by influencing hepatic enzymes responsible for both glucose production and glycogen synthesis, thereby playing a critical role in glucose homeostasis.

Understanding glucagon’s function is essential for researchers studying metabolic disorders, particularly type 2 diabetes, where elevated glucagon levels can lead to hyperglycemia. Our bovine, human, rat, and porcine glucagon (1-29) peptides are designed for various applications, ensuring you get the most accurate results in your experiments.
