Pancreatic polypeptide (PP), secreted from γ cells of the islets of Langerhans, is a 36 amino-acid peptide encoded by the Ppy gene. Although previous studies have reported that PP causes a decrease in appetite, the molecular mechanism that regulates PP secretion has not been fully elucidated. Lack of understanding of the regulatory mechanism of PP secretion may be partially owing to the lack of assay systems that can specifically detect PP. We recently developed the mouse monoclonal antibody 23- ...[more]
