Glucagon is a peptide hormone produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas. It raises blood glucose levels by promoting glycogen breakdown and gluconeogenesis in the liver. It is mainly used as an emergency treatment for severe hypoglycemia and as a diagnostic aid in radiological examinations. Glucagon is approved and in clinical use.
