Explanation:
Gastrin is a peptide hormone produced by the G cells (gastrin cells) located in the pyloric antrum of the stomach. Its primary function is to stimulate the parietal cells of the gastric glands to secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the chief cells to secrete pepsinogen. This prepares the stomach for the digestion of food. Gastrin also stimulates gastric motility and growth of the gastric mucosa. Secretin and CCK stimulate the pancreas and gall bladder.
