Product Overview
Glucagon is a naturally occurring 29-amino acid peptide hormone that plays a pivotal role in glucose homeostasis. Synthesized primarily in the alpha cells of the pancreas, it acts as a physiological antagonist to insulin by stimulating hepatic glucose production through glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Our high-purity Glucagon (CAS 16941-32-5) is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to meet the demanding standards of pharmaceutical development and advanced biomedical research.
