[edit] Description
Cholecystokinins precursor (CCK) [Contains: Cholecystokinin 58(CCK58); Cholecystokinin 39 (CCK39); Cholecystokinin 33 (CCK33);Cholecystokinin 12 (CCK12); Cholecystokinin 8 (CCK8)].
[edit] Source Organism
Macaca fascicularis (Crab eating macaque) (Cynomolgus monkey).
[edit] Taxomomy
Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini;Catarrhini; Cercopithecidae; Cercopithecinae; Macaca.
[edit] Subcellular Localization
Secreted.
[edit] Developmental Stage
[edit] Similarity
Belongs to the gastrin/cholecystokinin family.
[edit] Post translational Modification
The precursor cleaved by enzymes to produce a number of active cholecystokinins.
[edit] Function
This peptide hormone induces gall bladder contraction and the release of pancreatic enzymes in the gut. Its function in the brain is not clear. Binding to CCK-A receptors stimulates amylase release from the pancreas, binding to CCK-B receptors stimulates gastric acid secretion
