Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the GCGR gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000000160.5. Only rare variants are included in the table.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: G-protein coupled receptor for glucagon that plays a central role in the regulation of blood glucose levels and glucose homeostasis. Regulates the rate of hepatic glucose production by promoting glycogen hydrolysis and gluconeogenesis. Plays an important role in mediating the responses to fasting. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. Promotes activation of adenylate cyclase. Besides, plays a role in signaling via a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19657311, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22908259, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23863937, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27111510, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28514451, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7507321, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9287038}.;
