The role of glucagon and the glucagon receptor in the liver. Glucagon signalling regulates positively (+) or negatively (−) the multiple steps of the hepatic glucose metabolism. This modulation affects the expression and/or the activity of several enzymes of glucose metabolism. See text for details.
