    Product Description

    Glucagon receptor antagonist I is a competitive antagonist of the glucagon receptor (GCGR; IC50 = 181 nM).1 It blocks glucagon-induced glycogenolysis in primary human hepatocytes and isolated liver.1 Glucagon receptor antagonist I, at 50 mg/kg, reduces the increase in glucose levels observed after intraperitoneal administration of glucagon in humanized mice.1 Glucagon receptor antagonist inactive control (Item No. 21188) does not prevent glucagon-mediated actions.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
