FTP, name this hormone that is produced by the delta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas and that serves to suppress many hormones, including secretin and growth hormone.
The gene encoding this protein is located on chromosome 3q28. Four of the five receptors for this protein do not differentiate its "14" variety from its "28" variety, the latter of which is secreted mostly in the intestine. Synthetic substitutes for it include octreotide and it acts with both endocrine and paracrine mechanisms. First identified in hypothalamic extracts, it prolongs gastric emptying and gall bladder contraction and it is used to treat acromegaly because of its most important function.
