Abstract

Upon investigation of pig intestinal peptides for effects on the release of endocrine hormones from the isolated perfused rat pancreas, we reported earlier that glucose-stimulated insulin release was inhibited by PEC-60, a peptide with marked sequence similarity to PSTI (pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor). Continuing this study we found a polypeptide, which inhibited glucose-induced insulin release but enhanced glucose-induced somatostatin secretion. Determination of the amino acid sequence of this polypeptide revealed that it is identical to that of PSTI. Thus, PSTI modulates islet hormone release.
