GCG - glucagon Gene
Also Known as GLP1; GLP2; GRPP; GLP-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About GCG
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants) and 275 orthologues. Biased expression in pancreas (RPKM 204.8), small intestine (RPKM 57.7) and 2 other tissues.
Summary
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]
