Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) (1-42), an endogenous incretin hormone comprising 42 amino acids, promotes insulin secretion. Expressed in the intestinal neuroendocrine K cells and submandibular gland, it enters circulation after meals. GIP (1-42) blocks histamine, pentagastrin, and insulin-induced gastric acid and pepsin secretion, enhances glucose-stimulated insulin release, and accelerates gastric emptying in rats.
