glucagon(GCG) Homo sapiens 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],

GCG identifies glucagon in Homo sapiens (Human). This target record connects NCBI Gene 2641, UniProtKB P01275 and related ABMIUM catalogue products.
Biological function: GCG encodes proglucagon, a secreted precursor that is processed in a tissue-specific manner into biologically active peptides including glucagon, GLP-1, GLP-2, oxyntomodulin and glicentin-related products. Glucagon raises circulating glucose through GCGR-dependent signalling, while GLP-1 supports glucose-dependent insulin secretion; together, proglucagon-derived peptides are central to glucose, appetite and gastrointestinal physiology.
