What is Pancreatic Polypeptide Test?

This test detects pancreatic polypeptide, a substance found in your blood. Special cells in your pancreas secrete pancreatic polypeptide.

This substance is found in greater quantities in people with neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). These tumours can be active or inactive. Tumors that do not function are more common. They are referred to as non function because they secrete substances that have no effect on symptoms. That is, they may not cause symptoms until they have grown to a large size.

Other Names
