Glucagon (C0017687) |
|
|---|---|
| Definition (NCI) | A hormone produced by the pancreas that increases the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. |
| Definition (NCI) | A hormone produced by the pancreas that increases the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. |
| Definition (NCI) | A pancreatic hormone consisting of 29 amino acids that causes increases in blood sugar levels by stimulating hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. |
| Definition (CSP) | pancreatic hormone secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets; a 29-amino acid straight chain polypeptide that plays an important role in regulation of blood glucose concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes. |
| Definition (MSH) | A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.
