About Glucagon and Analogs.

Glucagon and analogs constitute a class of therapeutic peptide hormones and synthetic peptide mimetics that activate the glucagon receptor to stimulate hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, rapidly elevating circulating glucose levels.

Members of this class, which encompass native recombinant glucagon formulations as well as stable peptide analogs like dasiglucagon, serve primarily as emergency antihypoglycemic rescue therapies for severe hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Native glucagon is also indicated as a diagnostic aid to inhibit gastrointestinal motility during radiologic and endoscopic imaging of the digestive tract.
