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.
