Molecular mechanisms of altered gastrointestinal function in gastrin deficient mice
2001-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The peptide hormone gastrin is synthesized and secreted by G-cells in the antral region of the stomach. Well characterised functions of gastrin include stimulation of gastric acid secretion and gastric mucosal proliferation. More recent studies in gastrin deficient transgenic mice (GAS-KO) suggest that gastrin also regulates corpus epithelial architecture. Gastrin regulated genes mediate acid secretion and prolife...
