摘要: Abstract Structure-function studies of glucagon suggest that relatively non-specific hydrophobic interactions participate in the binding this hormone to cell surface receptors. These may occur as a result formation segments amphipatic helix peptide. This also endows with ability solubilize phospholipids manner which is similar solubilization by serum apolipoprotein A-1. Glucagon shares form amphipathic helices and interact several other polypeptide hormones bind receptor sites analogous mechanisms.
