Descriptor English: Receptors, Glucagon
Descriptor Spanish: Receptores de Glucagón
Descriptor receptores de glucagón
Scope note: Receptores de la superficie celular que poseen alta afinidad para unirse al glucagón y que generan cambios intracelulares que influyen en el comportamiento celular. La activación de los receptores del glucagón produce diversos efectos, de los que el mejor conocido es el inicio de una compleja cascada enzimática en el hígado que lleva al incremento en la disponibilidad de glucosa en los órganos del organismo.
