CC -!- FUNCTION: Glucagon plays a key role in glucose metabolism and
CC homeostasis. Regulates blood glucose by increasing gluconeogenesis and
CC decreasing glycolysis.
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}.
