ID: hor006412
Uniprot ID: P22890
Protein name: Glicentin
Gene name: GCG
Organism: Octodon degus (Degu) (Sciurus degus)
Family: Glucagon family
Source: Animal
Expression: Glucagon release is stimulated by hypoglycemia and inhibited by hyperglycemia, insulin, and somatostatin. GLP-1 and GLP-2 are induced in response to nutrient ingestion (By similarity). |Glucagon is secreted in the A cells of the islets of Langerhans. GLP-
