GLR (GCGR/Glucagon Receptor) is a GPCR for glucagon that plays a role in blood glucose levels and glucose homeostasis. Glucagon receptors are mainly expressed in liver and kidney but also expressed in other tissues such as heart, adipose, spleen, thymus, adrenal glands, pancreas, cerebral cortex and the gastrointestinal tract. Mutations in the GCGR gene is associated with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and inactivation of the receptor causes glucagon resistance. GCGR is found on the cell membrane but is rapidly internalized following ligand-binding via endocytosis.
