Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 2642
Gene name Glucagon receptor
Gene symbol GCGR
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GGRGL-RMVAH
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17q25.3
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a glucagon receptor that is important in controlling blood glucose levels. Defects in this gene are a cause of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
