| Bioactivity | Pancreatic Polypeptide, bovine, a 36-amino acid, straight chain polypeptide derived primarily from the pancreas, inhibits secretin- and cholecystokinin-stimulated pancreatic secretion; Pancreatic Polypeptide, bovine acts as an agonist of NPY receptor, with high affinity at NPYR4. |
| Target | NPYR4 |
| Invitro | Pancreatic Polypeptide, bovine is an agonist of NPY receptor, with high affinity at NPYR4. Pancreatic Polypeptide (1 μM) does not alter proliferation in BRIN BD11 or 1.1B4 beta-cells, but reverses the decreased cell viability in BRIN BD11 cells induced by streptozotocin. Pancreatic Polypeptide (0.1 nM-1 μM) shows no effect on insulin secretion from isolated mouse islets, and does not affect the membrane potential and (Ca2+)i levels in BRIN BD11 cells at 1 μM[1]. Pancreatic Polypeptide, bovine inhibits secretin- and cholecystokinin-stimulated pancreatic secretion. 125I-Pancreatic Polypeptide, bovine shows no specific binding to pancreatic acini[2]. |
| In Vivo | Pancreatic Polypeptide (25 nmol/kg bw, i.p.) reduces glucose-stimulated insulin concentrations but shows no effect on acute feeding behaviour in overnight fasted mice[1]. Pancreatic Polypeptide, bovine (BPP; 40 μg/kg) inhibits CCK-33-induced pancreatic protein output during the entire bovine Pancreatic Polypeptide infusion period, but shows no effect on biliary protein output during CCK-33 or CCK-8 infusion[2]. |
