Description

Human Pancreatic Islets of Langerhans are derived from the human pancreas.These are primary, non-passaged cells typically used immediately after isolation or short-term culture. They do not proliferate significantly in vitro. They form dense clusters of cells within the pancreas, comprising different endocrine cell types. Pancreatic beta cells (or β cells), which function in insulin secretion, are the most abundant islet cell type, accounting for around 50–70% of human islet cells. There are also glucagon-secreting pancreatic alpha cells (or α cells), Delta cells (δ cells or D cells) secreting somatostatin, Epsilon cells (ε cells) secreting ghrelin, and pancreatic PP cells secreting polypeptides. Beta cells express insulin and transcription factors such as PDX1 and MAFA; alpha cells express glucagon and ARX; delta cells express somatostatin and HHEX. These markers can be detected via immunostaining or qPCR.These pancreatic cells collectively act to maintain glucose homeostasis and regulate other aspects of metabolism.
