Cholecystokinin receptors


More information on this family may be found on the IUPHAR-DB family and introduction pages.


Overview « Hide

Cholecystokinin receptors (nomenclature recommended by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on CCK receptors, [19]) are activated by the endogenous peptides cholecystokinin-4 (CCK-4), CCK-8, CCK-33 and gastrin (gastrin-17). There is evidence for species homologues of CCK2 receptors distinguished by the relative affinities of the two stereoisomers of devazepide, R-L365260 and S-L365260, or by the differences in affinity of the agonist BC264 [7].


Unless otherwise stated all data refer to the human proteins. Gene information is provided for human (Hs), mouse (Mm) and rat (Rn).
