High impact information on MLN

Comparison of all known sequences shows considerable identity in amino acid and nucleotide sequence of the signal peptide and motilin [1].
Motilin cDNA fragments were amplified by PCR, ligated into a plasmid and cloned [1].
The importance of enteric neural influence from the duodenum and the role of motilin in the regulation of pancreatic periodicity and its synchronization with the duodenal motility cycle remain to be determined [2].
Feeding was followed by a transitory reduction of plasma somatostatin and by a prolonged decrease of plasma motilin [3].
In addition, motilin-immunoreactive cells were identified in both the endocrine and exocrine pancreas of pouch-young and adult echidnas using three types of motilin antisera [4].

Anatomical context of MLN

A survey of endocrine cells in the pancreas of the echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) with special reference to pancreatic motilin cells [4].

Other interactions of MLN

Moderate numbers of 5-HT-immunoreactive cells, small to moderate numbers of neurotensin- and enteroglucagon-immunoreactive cells and occasional somatostatin-, motilin- and BPP-immunoreactive cells were seen in the distal intestine [5].
