Gene information for CCKAR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID886
Official gene symbolCCKAR
Full namecholecystokinin A receptor
Aliases,CCK-A,CCK1-R,CCKRA,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a G-protein coupled receptor that binds non-sulfated members of the cholecystokinin (CCK) family of peptide hormones. This receptor is a major physiologic mediator of pancreatic enzyme secretion and smooth muscle contraction of the gallbladder and stomach. In the central and peripheral nervous system this receptor regulates satiety and the release of beta-endorphin and dopamine. [provided by RefSeq]
