Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) has several key functions:
Regulation of pancreatic secretions: PP inhibits the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bicarbonate, which are essential for digestion. Gastrointestinal motility: PP helps in regulating the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, ensuring the proper movement of food and waste. Food intake: PP plays a role in controlling appetite and food intake by acting on the hypothalamus in the brain.
