Created in the alpha cells in the islets [is-lets] of Langerhans, this hormone is inhibited by insulin.
This hormone and adrenaline both bind to 7TM receptors, which increases cyclic AMP, which in turn activates protein kinase A [KIH-nase A]. This hormone stimulates a process involving malate [MAL-ate] that takes place largely in the liver. The level of this hormone increases when somebody is hungry, especially during hypoglycemia [hie-poe-glie-SEE-mee-uh].
