Glucagon

Japanese: グルカゴン
Glucagon

A peptide hormone. It is found in the pancreas and is a substance that increases blood sugar levels, with the opposite effect to insulin. It is a linear peptide consisting of 29 amino acids, and its blood sugar increase is mainly achieved through the breakdown of glycogen in the liver and gluconeogenesis. It also increases coronary blood flow and myocardial contractility. Due to these effects, it is used to treat hypoglycemia. It is also used in clinical testing. [CAS 9007-92-5]
