Pancreas produces insulin hormone to lower sugar in blood.

The pancreatic islet is a gland. A gland is a group of cells specialized in secretion. That's why it is a multicellular organism. The cells are eukaryotic because they have a nucleus. Bacterias for example are prokaryotic.
Pancreatic islet cell transplantation involves taking the cells that produce insulin from a second source such as a donor pancreas and transplanting them into a patient.

Insuline and glucagon are the only hormones produced by the pancreas
Specialized islet cells that secrete hormones are found scattered throughout the Pancreas.

The pancreas produces a variety of hormones, two being insulin and glucagon, these hormones are produced by groups of cells called the islets of langerhans.
The islet cells or islets of Langerhans in the pancreas are responsible for producing the pancreatic hormones which are glucagon and insulin. Insulin is released when blood glucose levels are too high and glucagon is released when blood glucose levels are too low.
Alpha cells in the islet of Langerhans produce glucagon and beta cells produce insulin. Islets of Langerhans are also known as pancreatic islets.
