Rabbit Anti-GCG / Glucagon Antibody MBS244769 from MyBioSource.com

Description

Glucagon is a 29-amino acid pancreatic hormone that counteracts the glucose-lowering action of insulin by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Human, rabbit, rat, pig, and cow glucagons are identical. Glucagon is a member of a multigene family that includes secretin, vasoactive intestinal peptide gastric inhibitory peptide, glicentin, and others
