| Txonomy | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Sciurognathi;Muroidea; Cricetidae; Cricetinae; Mesocricetus. |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | Belongs to the glucagon family. |
| Tissue Specificity | NA |
| Post Translational Modification | Proglucagon is posttranslationally processed in a tissue- specific manner in pancreatic A cells and intestinal L cells. In pancreatic A cells; the major bioactive hormone is glucagon cleaved by PCSK2/ |
| Function | GLP-2 stimulates intestinal growth and up-regulates villus height in the small intestine; concomitant with increased crypt cell proliferation and decreased enterocyte apoptosis. The gastrointestinal tract; from the stomach to the colon is the principal target for GLP-2 action. Plays a key role in nutrient homeostasis; enhancing nutrient assimilation through enhanced gastrointestinal function; as well as increasing nutrient disposal. Stimulates intestinal glucose transport and decreases mucosal permeability |
