Target Information
Mouse Pro-glucagon (Gcg) is a precursor protein that is processed into several biologically active peptides, including glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2). These peptides play crucial roles in regulating glucose homeostasis, insulin secretion, and gut motility. Glucagon stimulates glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, raising blood glucose levels. GLP-1 enhances insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon release, promoting glucose uptake and utilization. GLP-2 promotes intestinal growth and nutrient absorption. In mouse models, Gcg is highly expressed in the pancreas and gut, where it is essential for maintaining metabolic balance and gastrointestinal function.
