Product Description: Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, porcine hydrochloride is a peptide hormone, produced by pancreatic α-cells. Glucagon hydrochloride stimulates gluconeogenesis[1]. Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, porcine hydrochloride activates HNF4α and increases HNF4α phosphorylation[2][3].
Applications: Metabolism-sugar/lipid metabolism
Formula: C153H225N43O49S.ClH
