MeSH Heading: Glicentin
Tree Number(s): D06.472.317.680.249
Unique ID: D053771
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D053771
Scope Note: A 69-amino acid peptide derived from the N-terminal of PROGLUCAGON. It is mainly produced by the INTESTINAL L CELLS. Further processing of glicentin yield a 30-amino acid N-terminal peptide (glicentin-related polypeptide) and a 37-amino acid peptide OXYNTOMODULIN. Both glicentin and oxyntomodulin can reduce digestive secretions and delay gastric emptying.
Entry Term(s): Glicentine; Proglucagon (1-69)
Previous Indexing: Enteroglucagons (1980-2006); Glucagon (1979-2006)
