As of 2026-09-14

Glucagon receptor shows approved-linked disease relevance led by diabetes mellitus. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 6 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P47871. Start with diabetes mellitus, then reuse UniProt P47871 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
diabetes mellitus

Glucagon receptor shows approved-linked disease relevance led by diabetes mellitus. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 6 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with diabetes mellitus because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include COTADUTIDE, DASIGLUCAGON HYDROCHLORIDE, GLUCAGON, GLUCAGON HYDROCHLORIDE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
