<unk>  is a peptide hormone, produced by alpha cells of the pancreas. It raises concentration of glucose and fatty acids in the bloodstream, and is considered to be the main catabolic hormone of the body. It is also used as a medication to treat a number of health conditions. Its effect is opposite to that of insulin, which lowers extracellular glucose. It is produced from proglucagon, encoded by the GCG gene. The pancreas releases<unk>  when the amount of glucose in the bloodstream is too low.<unk>  causes the liver to engage in glycogenolysis: converting stored glycogen into glucose, which is released into the bloodstream. High blood-glucose levels, on the other hand, stimulate the release of insulin. Insulin allows glucose to be taken up and used by insulin-dependent tissues. Thus,<unk>  and insulin are part of a feedback system that keeps blood glucose levels stable.<unk>  increases energy expenditure and is elevated under conditions of stress.<unk>  belongs to the secretin family of hormones.
