Tree Number(s): A03.556.875.875.440.854; A03.734.414.793; A06.300.414.793; A06.390.825; A10.615.550.291.825; A11.382.625.950; A11.436.294.950
Unique ID: D019864
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019864
Annotation: /transpl: if from pancreas, coordinate with ISLETS OF LANGERHANS TRANSPLANTATION
Scope Note: Endocrine cells found throughout the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT and in islets of the PANCREAS. D cells secrete SOMATOSTATIN that acts in both an endocrine and paracrine manner. Somatostatin acts on a variety of tissues including the PITUITARY GLAND; gastrointestinal tract; pancreas; and KIDNEY by inhibiting the release of hormones, such as GROWTH HORMONE; GASTRIN; INSULIN; and RENIN.
Entry Term(s): D Cells; Gastric D Cells; Gastric delta Cells; Pancreatic D Cells; Pancreatic delta Cells; Somatostatin Cells; delta Cells
Previous Indexing: Gastric Mucosa (1976-1997); Islets of Langerhans (1966-1997); Pancreas/cytology (1968-1989)
