Glicentin is present in the pig pancreas

Abstract
Specimens from porcine pancreas and ileal mucosa were extracted in acid/ethanol, subjected to gel permeation chromatography, ion‐exchange chromatography, enzymatic peptide degradation, reverse‐phase HPLC, and analysed for glucagon‐like and glicentin‐like immunoreactivity by region‐specific radioimmunoassays. Results obtained with all methods were consistent with the hypothesis that glicentin is present in the pig pancreas in small amounts.
