which pancreatic cell produces glucagon
The hormones produced in the islets of Langerhans are insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide, and ghrelin. The pancreatic hormones are secreted by alpha, beta, delta, gamma, and epsilon cells.
The endocrine cell subsets are: 1  Alpha cells that produce glucagon, and make up 15â20% of total islet cells. 2  Beta cells that produce insulin and amylin, and make up 65â80% of the total islet cells. 3  Delta cells that produce somatostatin, and make up 3â10% of the total islet cells.
