Background
glucagon receptor(GCGR) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is a glucagon receptor that is important in controlling blood glucose levels. Defects in this gene are a cause of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010],
Function
disease:It is a candidate for certain defects in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The variant in position 40 (Ser) is found in some NIDDM patients, but also in nondiabetic subjects.,function:This is a receptor for glucagon which plays a central role in regulating the level of blood glucose by controlling the rate of hepatic glucose production and insulin secretion. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase and also a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family.,
