Proglucagon
Proglucagon is a protein that is a precursor of glucagon and several other components. It is cleaved from preproglucagon. Proglucagon is generated in the alpha cells of the pancreas and in the intestinal L cells in the distal ileum and colon.
Preproglucagon in humans is encoded by the GCG gene and is composed of 180 amino-acid residues.
More specifically, preproglucagon is cleaved into the following components in different organs:
Proglucagon itself is a protein with three repeats of slightly different secretin family hormones to be cleaved to form mature hormones.
