Molecular Development of Endocrine Pancreas Cells

Model placing gastrin cells in the transcriptional hierarchy of endocrine cells in the pancreas.

Pancreatic G cells

  • similar to alpha cells in that it is dependent on Arx.
  • similar to epsilon cells in that both gastrin and ghrelin are frequently co-expressed with glucagon in the embryonic pancreas.
