Gene information for CCKBR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID887
Official gene symbolCCKBR
Full namecholecystokinin B receptor
Aliases,CCK-B,CCK2R,GASR,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a G-protein coupled receptor for gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK), regulatory peptides of the brain and gastrointestinal tract. This protein is a type B gastrin receptor, which has a high affinity for both sulfated and nonsulfated CCK analogs and is found principally in the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract. A misspliced transcript variant including an intron has been observed in cells from colorectal and pancreatic tumors. [provided by RefSeq]
