    Description

    Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, porcine hydrochloride is a peptide hormone, produced by pancreatic α-cells. Glucagon hydrochloride stimulates gluconeogenesis[1]. Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, porcine hydrochloride activates HNF4α and increases HNF4α phosphorylation[2][3].

    In Vitro

    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].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Western Blot Analysis[3]

    Cell Line: Human primary hepatocytes (H1211, HH1215)
    Concentration: 100 nM
    Incubation Time:
    Result: Resulted in a marked increase in the amount of phosphorylated HNF4α.
    In Vivo

    Low-dose (20 μg/kg) Glucagon increases glycemia and does not stimulate insulin secretion in ambient-fed mice. High-dose (1 mg/kg) Glucagon lowers glycemia compared with PBS control and stimulates insulin secretion in ambient-fed mice[4].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: C57BL/6J mice (12- to 24-week-old)[4]
    Dosage: 20 μg/kg and 1 mg/kg
    Administration: Administered by i.p. injection; 45 minutes
    Result: Low-dose (20 μg/kg) increased glycemia and did not stimulate insulin secretion.
    High-dose (1 mg/kg) lowered glycemia and stimulated insulin secretion.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
