Description
The PPY (pancreatic polypeptide) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 17.
Pancreatic polypeptide (PPY) is a hormone secreted by pancreatic cells that plays a regulatory role in pancreatic and gastrointestinal functions. It likely achieves this by signaling through the G protein-coupled receptor NPY4R2.
PPY is also known as PH, PNP, PP.
