Description
Secretin is a 27-amino acid hormone produced by specific endocrine cells, S cells, located in the mucosa of the proximal small intestine. Secretin is known to be a potent stimulus for the secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice. Secretion of secretin is stimulated by the presence of either acidic pH or fatty acids in the duodenum. Secretin is synthesized as a larger precursor. The deduced amino acid sequence includes a signal peptide, an amino-terminal peptide, secretin itself, and a 72-amino acid carboxy-terminal peptide. Secretin stimulates ductal bile secretion by directly interacting with cholangiocytes. It stimulates exocytosis in cholangiocytes, which transport water mainly via the water channel aquaporin-1. Secretin deficiency may be implicated in autistic syndrome, suggesting that the hormone could have a neuroendocrine function in addition to its role in digestion. The gene which encodes secretin maps to human chromosome 11p15.5.
