CAS 16941-32-5: glucagon
Description:Glucagon is a peptide hormone produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas, primarily involved in glucose metabolism. It is composed of 29 amino acids and plays a crucial role in increasing blood glucose levels by promoting glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver. Glucagon is typically released in response to low blood sugar levels, acting as a counter-regulatory hormone to insulin. Its structure includes a single chain of amino acids with specific functional groups that facilitate its biological activity. The CAS number 16941-32-5 identifies glucagon in chemical databases, ensuring precise communication regarding this substance. In therapeutic contexts, glucagon is used as a medication to treat severe hypoglycemia and is administered via injection. It is also utilized in diagnostic procedures, such as in imaging studies of the gastrointestinal tract. Overall, glucagon is essential for maintaining glucose homeostasis and is a key player in metabolic regulation.
