Abstract excerpt
Gastrin stimulates cell proliferation through the CCK(B) receptor coupled to Gq-protein, whereas the m3 muscarinic receptor, which also couples to Gq, has no trophic effects. In order to elucidate the cause of the difference, we stably transfected CHO cells with human CCK(B) and m3 receptors. Stimulation of the CCK(B), but not the m3 receptor increased cell growth. Activation of MAP kinase via the m3 receptor was...
