Cholecystokinin receptor
Template:Short description Template:Infobox protein Template:Infobox protein Cholecystokinin receptors or CCK receptors are a group of G-protein coupled receptors which bind the peptide hormones cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastrin.<ref name="pmid10581329">Template:Cite journal</ref> There are two different subtypes CCKA and CCKB which are ~50% homologous:<ref name="pmid16816139">Template:Cite journal</ref> Various cholecystokinin antagonists have been developed and are used in research, although the only drug of this class that has been widely marketed to date is the anti-ulcer drug proglumide.
| Protein | Gene | Tissue distribution | Preferred ligand | Function | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCKA (CCK1) | Template:Gene | primarily gastrointestinal tract, lesser amounts in the CNS | sulfated CCK >> nonsulfated CCK ≈ nonsulfated CCK | stimulation of bicarb secretion, gall bladder emptying and inhibiting gut motility | Gq<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name = "Beinfeld_2019">Template:Cite journal</ref> |
| CCKB (CCK2) | Template:Gene | primarily CNS, lesser amounts in the gastrointestinal tract | gastrin ≈ CCK (receptor does not discriminate between sulfated and nonsulfated peptides) | regulation of nociception, anxiety, memory and hunger | Gq/G11<ref name = "Beinfeld_2019" /> |
