• Description
  Glucagon gene and the glucagon like peptide or GLP1 gene are peptide hormones, produced by alpha cells of the pancreas to raise the concentration of glucose in the blood as opposite of insulin, which lowers the glucose. Anti human glucagon and glp1 antibodies are used to study diabetes. The receptors are ligand binding factors of type 1, 2 or 3 and protein-molecules that receive chemical-signals from outside a cell. When such chemical-signals couple or bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue-response, e.g. a change in the electrical-activity of a cell. In this sense, am olfactory receptor is a protein-molecule that recognizes and responds to endogenous-chemical signals, chemokinesor cytokines e.g. an acetylcholine-receptor recognizes and responds to its endogenous-ligand, acetylcholine. However, sometimes in pharmacology, the term is also used to include other proteins that are drug-targets, such as enzymes, transporters and ion-channels.
