CC   -!- FUNCTION: Promotes hydrolysis of glycogen and lipids, and raises the
CC       blood sugar level.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- INDUCTION: Produced in the A cells of the islets of Langerhans in
CC       response to a drop in blood sugar concentration.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glucagon family. {ECO:0000305}.
