glucagon receptor function in liver physiology
The glucagon receptor function in liver physiology refers to the role that glucagon, a hormone produced by the pancreas, plays in the liver. The glucagon receptor in the liver helps regulate glucose homeostasis by promoting the production of glucose from different sources, such as glycogen stores or amino acids, and stimulating gluconeogenesis. Overall, it helps maintain blood glucose levels within a normal range.
