Abstract excerpt
Glucagon plays an important role in glucose homeostasis and amino acid metabolism. It regulates plasma amino acid levels which in turn modulate glucagon secretion from the pancreatic α-cell, thereby establishing a liver-α-cell axis described recently. We reported previously that the knock-in mice bearing homozygous V369M substitution (equivalent to a naturally occurring mutation V368M in the human glucagon...
