Sumario:The ECL cell is the most common cell type in the oxyntic mucosa of the stomach. It is producing a number of peptides and amines where histamine and chromogranin A seems to be the most important and abundant products. Recent data indicate a direct correlation between ECL-cell mass and circulating chromogranin A levels. Chromogranin A and its splice products might serve as growth promoting agents in ECL-cell hyperplasia or gastric carcinoids.
