Question

Which of the following cell of intestine secretes GIP?

• A. I cell

• C. Beta cell
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B K cell

• Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) or gastro inhibitory peptide, also known as the glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, is an inhibiting hormone of the secretin family of hormones.
• It is synthesized by K cells, which are found in the mucosa of the duodenum and the jejunum of the gastrointestinal tract. Hence, the K cell of intestine secretes GIP.

So, the correct answer is 'K cell'.
