Gene

GCGR

ENSG00000215644
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is the glucagon receptor, a member of the secretin receptor family of class B G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This receptor plays a critical role in maintaining blood glucose homeostasis by mediating the effects of glucagon, including stimulation of hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. This gene is expressed primarily in the liver and kidney but also in the heart, adrenal glands, pancreas, spleen, thymus, cerebral cortex, adipose tissue, and gastrointestinal tract. Mutations in this gene can impair glucagon signaling, leading to dysregulation of glucose metabolism and contributing to the development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes). Such defects may result in altered glucose production, insufficient counter-regulation during fasting, and increased susceptibility to hyperglycemia. Inactivating mutations in this gene cause resistance to glucagon which is associated with Mahvash disease. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2026]

Gene Knockout Kits Provide Superior Editing Efficiency in iPSC, Immortalized, and Primary Cells and Consistent Protein Depletion Using the XDel Design

Figure 1. A) On-target editing efficiency of XDel multiple guide design (MGKO) (pink bars) vs their 3 respective single-guide RNAs (blue bars) across 7 endogenous target loci transfected in two immortalized (IMM) and two iPSC cell lines. Each transfection was performed in triplicate and data were analyzed via NGS by EditCo’s proprietary software analysis. B) Western blot analyses for all 5 knockout target genes indicate a complete depletion of proteins across the 3 specified time points (days 7, 14, and 21) relative to the negative controls. Knockout cell pools for the target genes were generated by nucleofecting U2OS cells with multi-guide sgRNA and Cas9 (as RNPs). A negative control pool was also transfected for each target using non-targeting sgRNA.
