Long-acting glucagon analogue

Glucagon is s a 29 amino acid residue peptide hormone produced by the alpha-cells in the pancreas. Together with insulin it regulates blood glucose levels. It stimulates release of glucose from the liver at low blood glucose levels by increasing gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, and by suppressing glycolysis. Glucagon is used to treat insulin-induced severe hypoglycemia.
