Popis: Porcine glucagon was modified at methionine-27 by methylation or oxidation. Antisera against the glucagon derivatives were obtained. One of these antisera showed a high affinity for glucagon, with no cross-reactivity with gut-GLI 1. Biological activities of these derivatives were assessed on rat hepatocytes. Both derivatives had the same maximal glucose-mobilising activity as native glucagon, but a decrease potency, suggesting a crucial role of methionine in the binding of glucagon to its hepatic receptor.
