产品描述
Glucagon is a peptide hormone, produced by pancreatic α-cells. Glucagon reduces the activity of HNF-4. Glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis. Glucagon enhances HNF4α phosphorylation.
体外活性
Glucagon activates cAMP-PKA signaling to stimulate hepatic glucose production (HGP) and cause hyperglycemia, after binding to its receptor Gcgr. Glucagon stimulates both hepatic kisspeptin1 production and gluconeogenesis [1]. Glucagon (100 nM) represses CYP7A1 mRNA expression in human primary hepatocytes and that also increases phosphorylation of HNF4α [3].
体内活性
Compared with PBS control, High-dose (1 mg/kg) Glucagon lowers glycemia and stimulates insulin secretion in ambient-fed mice. Low-dose (20 μg/kg) Glucagon enhances glycemia and does not stimulate insulin secretion in ambient-fed mice [4].
