Interpretation Introduction

nterpretation:

The most probable mechanism for the inhibition of pyruvate kinase by the action of glucagon on the liver cells.

Concept introduction:

The glucagon consists of 29 amino acids and is secreted from the alpha cells of the pancreas. The precursor molecule for this hormone is the proglucagon, which is also the precursor of the GLP-1 and the GLP-2. The sequence of the glucagon is highly conserved among all the vertebrates.
