Glucagon receptor family

The glucagon receptor family is a group of closely related G-protein coupled receptors which include:


 * Glucagon receptor
 * Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor
 * Glucagon-like peptide 2 receptor
 * Gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor

The first three receptors bind closely related peptide hormones (glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1, glucagon-like peptide-2) derived from the proglucagon polypeptide. The last receptor binds gastric inhibitory polypeptide.
