Specifications
Target Information
Chicken pro-glucagon (GCG) is a precursor protein that encodes multiple bioactive peptides, including glucagon, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2). These peptides play key roles in glucose metabolism, appetite regulation, and gut function. GLP-1 regulates blood glucose by stimulating insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon release. GLP-2 primarily acts on the gut to promote intestinal cell proliferation and nutrient absorption. Additionally, both GLP-1 and GLP-2 exhibit anorexigenic effects in the central nervous system of chickens.
