Human glucagon class B G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as secretin-like receptors, are a subfamily of the more well known class A (rhodopsin-like) glucagon receptor family. Located in the liver, class B glucagon receptors are activated by the binding of the hormonal peptide glucagon which leads to the release of glucose into the bloodstream and plays an essential role in glucose homeostasis. In comparison, class A vs. class B glucagon receptors share less than fifteen percent sequence homology, but both share a seven transmembrane domain (7TM) which is of vital importance and one of the primary areas of compared between the two.
This is a sample scene created with SAT to color by Group, and another to make a transparent representation of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
