Description
GIP (Gastric inhibitory polypeptide) (mouse) is a gastrointestinal hormone that is secreted by the intestinal K cells, and also expressed in and secreted from pancreatic islets. GIP (mouse) promotes insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells via the G-protein-coupled GIP receptor (GIPR). GIP (mouse) promotes pancreatic β cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis. GIP (mouse) also exerts direct lipogenic effects on adipose tissue[1][2][3]
