Descriptor glicentina
Scope note: Péptido de 69 aminoácidos derivado del N terminal del PROGLUCAGÓN. Es producido principalmente por las CÉLULAS L INTESTINALES. La ulterior transformación de la glicentina da lugar a un péptido de 30 aminoácidos con un N terminal (polipéptido relacionado con la glicentina) y un péptido de 37 aminoácidos, la OXINTOMODULINA. Tanto la glicentina como la oxintomodulina reducen las secreciones digestivas y retrasan el vaciamiento gástrico.

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.
