Glucagon

Glucagon API

Glucagon is a natural peptide hormone used as an emergency treatment for severe hypoglycemia and studied for its role in metabolic regulation, weight loss, and digestive diagnostics.

Mechanism & Research:

Glucagon binds to the glucagon receptor (GCGR) in the liver, stimulating:

Glycogen breakdown to increase blood glucose

Lipolysis and energy mobilization

Gastrointestinal motility modulation (used in radiology)

It is also being explored in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dual/triple agonist therapies with GLP-1 and GIP.

API Features (Gentolex Group):

High-purity peptide (≥99%)

Produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)

GMP-like quality

Suitable for injectables and emergency kits

Glucagon API is essential for hypoglycemia rescue, diagnostic imaging, and metabolic disorder research.
