Enterochromaffin cells as the endocrine source of gastrointestinal substance P.

Histochemistry ·Vol. 49 ·No. 4 ·1976-11-12 ·Pages 343-7

Heitz P, Polak JM, Timson DM, Pearse AG

Abstract

Immunoreactive Substance P is localized in the intramural neural plexuses of mammalian intestine, and in endocrine cells in the intestinal mucosa which have now been identified as enterochromaffin (EC). The presence of a neurotransmitter peptide in these cells favours the hypothesis of their neuroectodermal origin.
