Glicentin is present in the pig pancreas.

Specimens from porcine pancreas and ileal mucosa were extracted in acid/ethanol, subjected to gel permeation chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography, enzymatic peptide degradation, reverse-phase HPLC, and analysed for glucagon-like and glicentin-like immunoreactivity by region-specific radioimmunoassays. Results obtained with all methods were consistent with the hypothesis that glicentin is present in the pig pancreas in small amounts.
