CCK<sub>2</sub> receptor splice variant with intron 4 retention in human gastrointestinal and lung tumours
20 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
The wild-type cholecystokinin type 2 (CCK(2)) receptor is expressed in many gastrointestinal and lung tumours. A splice variant of the CCK(2) receptor with retention of intron 4 (CCK(2)Ri4sv) showing constitutive activity associated with increased tumour growth was described in few colorectal, pancreatic and gastric cancers. Given the potential functional and clinical importance of this spliceoform, its...
