A comparative study of avian (chicken) glucagon and commercial preparations of cattle glucagon was carried out with the view of studying the evolution of polypeptide hormones in some vertebrate species. A chromatographic procedure for obtaining crystalline hormone preparations from chicken tissues was developed. Study of immunological properties of chicken glucagon in radioimmune systems with highly specific antisera to mammalian glucagon revealed that the immunoreactivity of chicken hormone preparations purchased from CNR (USA) and RSL (USA) makes up to 40% and 60% of that of mammalian glucagon. Estimation of biological activity of the hormones by their ability to activate adenylate cyclase in a test system with plasma membranes of chicken and rat liver as well as to stimulate lipolysis in a test system with chicken adipocytes revealed that chicken glucagon possesses a biological activity within the same concentration range as its mammalian counterpart, i. e., 2.9 X 10(-10)-1 X 10(-5) M. In the majority of cases the effect of chicken glucagon taken in the above concentrations was less pronounced than that of the mammalian hormone. The data obtained suggest that even one amino acid substitution in the chicken glucagon molecule (in comparison with mammalian glucagon) affects the immunological properties of the hormone and its biological activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008066 Lipolysis The metabolic process of breaking down LIPIDS to release FREE FATTY ACIDS, the major oxidative fuel for the body. Lipolysis may involve dietary lipids in the DIGESTIVE TRACT, circulating lipids in the BLOOD, and stored lipids in the ADIPOSE TISSUE or the LIVER. A number of enzymes are involved in such lipid hydrolysis, such as LIPASE and LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE from various tissues. Lipolyses
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays

D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.

D005934 Glucagon A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
