Proglucagon, a 158 amino acid polypeptide, is synthesized in the pancreatic alpha cells and the intestinal L-cells1. Its post-translational processing in the pancreas leads to GRPP, Glucagon, IP-1 and MPGF. While in the intestines, the post-translational process leads to Glicentin, Oxyntomodulin, GLP-1, IP-2 and GLP-2.2 Analogs and agonists of these proglucagon factors are used in the treatment and management of Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes and prevention of cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes.
