Preferred Label : receptors, pancreatic hormone;
MeSH definition : Cell surface proteins that bind pancreatic hormones with high affinity and trigger
intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. These include receptors
for glucagon (secreted by alpha cells), insulin (secreted by beta cells), somatostatin
(secreted by delta cells), and pancreatic peptide (secreted by PP cells). Some of
these hormones and receptors also support neurotransmission.;
MeSH synonym : pancreatic hormone receptor; hormone receptor, pancreatic; receptors, pancreatic hormones; pancreatic hormone receptors; hormone receptors, pancreatic; receptor, pancreatic hormone; hormones receptors, pancreatic; pancreatic hormones receptors;
MeSH annotation : GEN; prefer specifics; DF: RECEPT PANCREATIC HORMONE; general or unspecified; prefer specifics;
Is substance : O;
Origin ID : D018026;
UMLS CUI : C0206489;
