| 14 | '''Glucagon''' is a 29-residue peptide hormone secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets and processed from [[Proglucagon|proglucagon]] by prohormone convertase 2. Its principal physiological role is counter-regulatory: falling blood glucose stimulates its release, and it acts on hepatocytes to mobilise glycogen and increase gluconeogenesis.{{r|sandoval2015}} | 15 | '''Glucagon''' is a 29-residue peptide hormone secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets and processed from [[Proglucagon|proglucagon]] by prohormone convertase 2.
