[isletokine]
This collective term has been coined by Yoshimatsu G et al (2017) in analogy to other terms such as myokines, adipokines, hepatokines to refer to cytokines and chemokines produced and secreted by pancreatic islets. As such, the term would comprise mediators produced by A-cells (glucagon cells), beta-cells (insulin cells), D cells or delta-cells (somatostatin cells), epsilon cells (ghrelin cells), pancreatic polypeptide cells (PP cells or F-cells or gamma-cells).
