Function

G protein-coupled receptor for glucagon that plays a central role in the regulation of blood glucose levels and glucose homeostasis. Regulates the rate of hepatic glucose production by promoting glycogen hydrolysis and gluconeogenesis. Plays an important role in mediating the responses to fasting.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Disease Association: Mahvash disease (MVAH) : An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by alpha-cell hyperplasia of the pancreas, hyperglucagonemia without glucagonoma syndrome, aminoacidemia, and occasional hypoglycemia. The disease may lead to glucagonomas and/or primitive neuroectodermal tumors. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]

Protein Biology

Function

G protein-coupled receptor for glucagon that plays a central role in the regulation of blood glucose levels and glucose homeostasis. Regulates the rate of hepatic glucose production by promoting glycogen hydrolysis and gluconeogenesis. Plays an important role in mediating the responses to fasting. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase (PubMed:32193322, PubMed:38346960). Promotes activation of adenylate cyclase. Besides, plays a role in signaling via a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system
