Important Note:
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
The physiologic effects of glucagon (GCG; MIM 138030) are mediated through the glucagon receptor, a member of the superfamily of receptors characterized by a 7-transmembrane domain structure and by their coupling via GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) to adenyl cyclase.[supplied by OMIM].
Gene References into function
- The Gly40Ser polymorphism of the GCGR gene is associated with higher risk of hypertension and with enhanced proximal tubular sodium reabsorption.
- Gly40Ser mutation in the glucagon receptor gene is not associated with type 2 diabetes in a Brazilian population, but a reduction of insulin secretion was observed in Gly40Ser carriers.
- Three distinct epitopes on the extracellular face of the glucagon receptor determine specificity for the glucagon amino terminus
- Expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha), known to be upregulated in the liver by fasting, was found to abolish the cAMP-dependent downregulation of glucagon receptor mRNA expression in vitro.
