Abstract
In contrast to mammals, glucagon is reported as a much more potent blood glucose modulator in birds. Interestingly, we have found p.Thr16Ser mutation, a variation in the highly conserved glucagon hormone, in Galliformes as well as Strigiformes. To check the effect of this mutation on the receptor binding of glucagon, we predicted the ancestral glucagon receptor sequence of all available Galliformes and Strigiformes species. Subsequently, we...
