The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Stimulation of the Gs receptor results in the activation of adenylate cyclase, which in turn leads to increased levels of the secondary messengers intracellular cAMP and calcium.
- In humans, the glucagon receptor is encoded by the GCGR gene.
- Glucagon receptors are mainly expressed in liver and in kidney with lesser amounts found in heart, adipose tissue, spleen, thymus, adrenal glands, pancreas, cerebral cortex, and gastrointestinal tract.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Glucagon receptor article was read about 8,900 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 58 and blocks with 42: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
