Glucokinase is a gene which plays an important role in recognising how high the blood glucose is in the body. It acts as the âglucose sensorâ for the pancreas, so that when the blood glucose rises, the amount of insulin produced also increases.n people without a change in glucokinase, the blood glucose is usually around 5.5 mmol/L but in people with a change in the glucokinase gene, the fasting blood glucose is typically between 5.5 and 8mmol/L.
Glucagon is a hormone that is involved in controlling blood sugar (glucose) levels. It is secreted into the bloodstream by the alpha cells, found in the islets of Langerhans, in the pancreas. It stimulates the conversion of stored glycogen (stored in the liver) to glucose which can be released into the bloodstream. 2  This process is called glycogenolysis. 3  It promotes the production of glucose from amino acid molecules. 4  This process is called gluconeogenesis.
