Abstract excerpt
Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) have trophic action on cells expressing wild type A or B CCK receptors. Potential relevance to pancreatic and colonic cancers was raised by the demonstration of a misspliced type B CCK receptor that, when expressed in Balb3T3 cells, had constitutive activity to stimulate intracellular calcium. We attempted to confirm and extend this observation in CHO cells by establishing lines...
