                                The human pancreas contains about 1 million clusters of cells called the islets of Langerhans. It is within these islets, specifically in the alpha cells, that the vital hormone glucagon is produced. This article delves into the specific locations where glucagon is synthesized and explains its critical role in maintaining balanced blood glucose levels.
