GCGR Protein-VLP, Human (HEK293)

The GCGR protein is a glucagon G protein-coupled receptor that is critical in blood glucose regulation and actively controls hepatic glucose production. It promotes glycogen hydrolysis and gluconeogenesis, which are critical for the fasting response. GCGR Protein-VLP, Human (HEK293) is the recombinant human-derived GCGR protein, expressed by HEK293, with tag free.

The GCGR Protein serves as a G-protein coupled receptor for glucagon, playing a pivotal role in the regulation of blood glucose levels and glucose homeostasis. It actively regulates hepatic glucose production by promoting glycogen hydrolysis and gluconeogenesis, making it a key mediator of responses to fasting. Upon ligand binding, the receptor undergoes a conformational change that initiates signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), subsequently modulating downstream effectors such as adenylate cyclase. This modulation results in the activation of adenylate cyclase. Furthermore, the receptor contributes to signaling via a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system, underscoring its multifaceted role in glucose regulation.
