  • Pro-Glucagon

Scope note

  • The common precursor polypeptide of pancreatic GLUCAGON and intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Proglucagon is the 158-amino acid segment of preproglucagon without the N-terminal signal sequence. Proglucagon is expressed in the PANCREAS; INTESTINES; and the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Posttranslational processing of proglucagon is tissue-specific yielding numerous bioactive peptides.

History note

  • 2007 (2006); for GLUCAGON PRECURSOR use GLUCAGON PRECURSOR (NM) 1977-2007
