GLP-1-CAN trial

GLP-1-CAN (NCT07558863) is a Phase 4 randomized open-label trial at Nanjing Medical University testing semaglutide or PEG loxenatide versus standard care in 60 adults with type 2 diabetes, with heart rate variability as primary outcome.

GLS

GLS, also known as GLS1, is a human gene on chromosome 2 encoding the mitochondrial enzyme glutaminase, which converts glutamine to glutamate and supports metabolism in the brain and kidney.

GLSL

GLSL, or OpenGL Shading Language, is a C-like language from the Khronos Group for writing shaders in the OpenGL graphics pipeline, introduced with OpenGL 2.0.

glTF (GL Transmission Format) is an open, royalty-free 3D file format published by the Khronos Group, using JSON and a binary .glb container; glTF 2.0 became ISO/IEC 12113.

Glucagon

Glucagon: 29-amino-acid pancreatic α-cell peptide hormone raising blood glucose via hepatic GCGR glycogenolysis; rescue drug for severe hypoglycemia (1 mg injectable, 3 mg nasal, dasiglucagon) and target of GLP-1 co-agonists like survodutide.

Glucagon-like peptide-1

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin gut hormone from intestinal L-cells that boosts insulin, suppresses glucagon, slows gastric emptying, and curbs appetite; DPP4 gives it a 1–2 minute half-life, spawning agonist drugs like exenatide, liraglutide, and semaglutide.

Glucagonoma

Glucagonoma is a rare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor of the alpha cells that overproduces glucagon, causing necrolytic migratory erythema, diabetes, weight loss, and anemia; surgery is the only cure.

Glucan biosynthesis protein C

Glucan biosynthesis protein C (MdoC/OpgC, gene opgC, b1047) is the membrane-bound succinyltransferase of E. coli that succinylates osmoregulated periplasmic glucans, giving them their anionic character.

Glucan exporter ATP-binding protein, NdvA

NdvA, the beta-(1→2)glucan export ATP-binding/permease protein of Sinorhizobium meliloti, is a 616-aa ABC exporter that moves cyclic beta-1,2-glucan to the periplasm and is required for effective alfalfa nodulation; its homolog ChvA serves the same role in Agrobacterium virulence.
