Gene information for CCK (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID885
Official gene symbolCCK
Full namecholecystokinin
Aliases,MGC117187,
Gene summaryCholecystokinin is a brain/gut peptide. In the gut, it induces the release of pancreatic enzymes and the contraction of the gallbladder. In the brain, its physiologic role is unclear. The cholecystokinin pro-hormone is processed by endo- and exo-proteolytic cleavages. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
