'''S cells''' are cells which release [[secretin]], found in the [[jejunum]] and [[duodenum]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Afroze |first1=Syeda |last2=Meng |first2=Fanyin |last3=Jensen |first3=Kendal |last4=McDaniel |first4=Kelly |last5=Rahal |first5=Kinan |last6=Onori |first6=Paolo |last7=Gaudio |first7=Eugenio |last8=Alpini |first8=Gianfranco |last9=Glaser |first9=Shannon S. |date=October 2013 |title=The physiological roles of secretin and its receptor |journal=Annals of Translational Medicine |volume=1 |issue=3 |pages=29 |doi=10.3978/j.issn.2305-5839.2012.12.01 |issn=2305-5839 |pmc=4200670 |pmid=25332973}}</ref> They are stimulated by a drop in [[pH]] to 4 or below in the [[small intestine]]'s lumen. The released secretin will increase the secretion of [[bicarbonate]] (HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>) into the lumen, via the [[pancreas]]. This is primarily accomplished by an increase in [[cyclic AMP]] that activates [[Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator|CFTR]] to release chloride anions into the lumen. The luminal Cl<sup>−</sup> is then involved in a [[bicarbonate transporter protein]] exchange, in which the chloride is reabsorbed by the cell and HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> is secreted into the [[lumen (anatomy)|lumen]]. S cells are also one of the main producers of [[cyclosamatin]].
