MeSH definition : A 69-amino acid peptide derived from the N-terminal of PROGLUCAGON. It is mainly produced
by the INTESTINAL L CELLS. Further processing of glicentin yield a 30-amino acid N-terminal
peptide (glicentin-related polypeptide) and a 37-amino acid peptide OXYNTOMODULIN.
Both glicentin and oxyntomodulin can reduce digestive secretions and delay gastric
emptying.;
