Secretin is a 27 amino acids peptide that is cleaved from a 120 amino acid precursor protein encoded by the SCT gene in human. Secretin is synthesized in cytoplasmic secretory granules of S-cells, which are found mainly in the mucosa of the duodenum, and in smaller numbers in the jejunum of the small intestine. Secretin is a peptide hormone that regulates water homeostasis throughout the body, and influences the environment of the duodenum by regulating secretions in the stomach and pancreas. Secretin also helps regulate the pH of the duodenum by: inhibiting the secretion of gastric acid from the parietal cells of the stomach; and stimulating the production of bicarbonate from the centroacinar cells and intercalated ducts of the pancreas. In 2007, secretin was discovered to play a role in osmoregulation by acting on the hypothalamus, pituitary, and kidney. Secretin has been widely used in medical field especially in pancreatic functioning test because it increases pancreatic secretions. This test can provide information about whether there are any abnormalities in the pancreas which can include gastrinoma, pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer. Secretin has been proposed as a possible treatment for autism based on a hypothetical gut-brain connection; as yet there is no evidence to support it as effective.
