Abstract

Turkey glucagon was isolated and crystallized. The crystal form was the same as that reported for pork, beef, human, rat and rabbit glucagon. The amino acid composition differs from that of mammalian glucagons in position 28 where an asparagine has been replaced by a serine residue. This substitution was shown to have a significant influence on the immunological properties of turkey glucagon as compared to porcine glucagon.
