Glucagon HCl

Glucagon is a 29-amino-acid single-chain polypeptide hormone secreted by pancreatic alpha cells, playing a critical role in glucose metabolism homeostasis. Glucagon Hydrochloride (CAS 16941-32-5) is the stable pharmaceutical salt form that activates hepatic glucagon receptors (GCGR) to rapidly promote glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, thereby quickly elevating blood glucose levels. This drug serves as an irreplaceable emergency treatment for severe hypoglycemia and is widely used in gastrointestinal diagnostic examinations.
