Glucagon is released when blood sugar levels drop too low. It stimulates the liver to convert glycogen to glucose, therefore increasing blood sugar levels. It is a hormone agonist (i.e. binds to a receptor in a cell and triggers a response).
Its opposing hormone is insulin, an antagonist which is release when blood sugar levels climb too high.
