Details for anatomical structure: acinar cell of pancreas

EndoNet ID: ENC00439

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be: 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000
If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

Substructures

    Secreted hormones

    • Hormone: FGF-1 isoform 1

    • Hormone: FGF-2

    Receptors

    • Receptor: VPAC1

      • Both VPAC1 and VPAC2 subtypes exist on pancreatic acini of rat and guinea pig. [1]

      Induced phenotype:

      • positive regulation of secretion
        • Both VIP receptor subtypes exist on pancreatic acini of rat and guinea pig, their activation stimulates enzyme secretion by a cAMP-mediated mechanism, and the effects of VIP are mediated 90% by activation of VPAC1 and 10% by VPAC2. [1]

    • Receptor: VPAC2

      • Both VPAC1 and VPAC2 subtypes exist on pancreatic acini of rat and guinea pig. [1]

      Induced phenotype:

      • positive regulation of secretion
        • Both VIP receptor subtypes exist on pancreatic acini of rat and guinea pig, their activation stimulates enzyme secretion by a cAMP-mediated mechanism, and the effects of VIP are mediated 90% by activation of VPAC1 and 10% by VPAC2. [1]
