Glucagon
A 29-amino-acid peptide hormone made by the alpha cells of the pancreas, which raises blood sugar by releasing glucose from the liver; described in the early 1920s, it is used for severe hypoglycaemia and as a diagnostic aid in radiology. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?In the early 1920s Kimball and Murlin noticed that some pancreatic extracts raised blood sugar instead of lowering it, and named the substance responsible glucagon, from 'glucose agonist'.
