Details
Spexin (SPX, also called NPQ) is a gastro-intestinal peptide hormone. In situ hybridization localized its mRNA to the stomach and esophagus. Synthetic spexin induced dose-dependent contraction of stomach muscle, suggesting that it is involved in digestion. The results obtained by Rucinski et al. indicate that spexin may inhibit adrenocortical cell proliferation.
