Glucagon (1-29)-acetate, 1mg

Overview

The Glucagon (1-29)-acetate, with a concentration of 1 mg, is a crucial peptide hormone that plays a significant role in glucose metabolism. Secreted by the pancreatic Islet of Langerhans alpha-cells, glucagon is released when blood glucose levels drop. This peptide acts on hepatic enzymes to stimulate glucose production and promote glycogen synthesis, making it essential for maintaining normal blood sugar levels. Understanding glucagon’s function is particularly important in studying conditions such as type 2 diabetes, where elevated glucagon levels can lead to metabolic dysregulation and hyperglycemia.
