Noun
1. gastrin
Wikipedia definition
2. GastrinIn humans, gastrin is a peptide hormone that stimulates secretion of gastric acid (HCl) by the parietal cells of the stomach and aids in gastric motility. It is released by G cells in the antrum of the stomach, duodenum, and the pancreas. It binds to cholecystokinin B receptors to stimulate the release of histamines in enterochromaffin-like cells, and it induces the insertion of K/H ATPase pumps into the apical membrane of parietal cells (which in turn increases H release).
