Pancreatic Islets

3D Human pancreatic islet

The pancreatic islets (Islets of Langerhans) contain four distinct endocrine cell types.

Section of an adult human pancreas stained for glucagon (green) and insulin (red).


  • Glucagon (green), rabbit anti-glucagon (DiaSorin, 1/1000)
  • Insulin (red), mouse anti-human insulin (Sigma, Saint-Quentin Fallavier, France 1/1000)
  • Nuclear staining (blue) was performed with DAPI.

Scale bars: 25 µm.

Alpha Cells

Human- pancreatic adult islet-glucagon.jpg

  • glucagon, mobilizes lipid
  • raises blood glucose levels
Beta Cells

Human- pancreatic adult islet-insulin.jpg pancreas structure

  • insulin, increase glucose uptake
  • decreases blood glucose levels
Delta Cells
  • somatostatin, inhibits glucagon, insulin secretion
F-cells
  • pancreatic polypeptide
