G protein-coupled receptors in gastrointestinal physiology. I. CCK receptors: an exemplary family.

Abstract excerpt

The CCK and gastrin families of peptides act as hormones and neuropeptides on central and peripheral receptors to mediate secretion and motility in the gastrointestinal tract in the physiological response to a normal meal. Thus far, two CCK receptors have been molecularly identified to mediate th...
