    Summary
    Enables glucagon receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucagon stimulus; glucose homeostasis; and regulation of glycogen metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to starvation and positive regulation of gene expression. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; foot mesenchyme; gut; liver; and male reproductive gland or organ. Used to study Mahvash Disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Mahvash Disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human GCGR (glucagon receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
