QGP-1 is a human pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor cell line derived from the pancreas of a male patient with a carcinoid tumor. These epithelial-like cells are polygonal or rounded and grow adherently in standard culture conditions (37°C, 5% CO₂). The cell line expresses neuroendocrine markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and synaptophysin, and shows elevated expression of transcription factors related to neuroendocrine differentiation, immature pancreatic β/δ-cell genes. The cell line exhibits genomic instability, with a portion of the cells showing a tetraploid karyotype. This cell line also exhibits the expression of somatostatin receptors (SSTR2 and SSTR5), making it an important in vitro model for studying pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs).

QGP-1 cell line can serve as an in vitro cell model for neuroendocrine tumor (NET) drug development. In addition, the QGP-1 cell line is also an excellent model for studying human enterochromaffin (EC) cells. Because it highly expresses EC cell marker genes and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), it can be used to further explore the function and regulatory mechanism of TRPA1 in EC cells.
