DescriptionCholecystokinins precursor (CCK) [Contains: Cholecystokinin 58(CCK58); Cholecystokinin 39 (CCK39); Cholecystokinin 33 (CCK33);Cholecystokinin 12 (CCK12); Cholecystokinin 8 (CCK8)].
Source organismMacaca fascicularis (Crab eating macaque) (Cynomolgus monkey)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini;Catarrhini; Cercopithecidae; Cercopithecinae; Macaca.
Subcellular locationSecreted
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the gastrin/cholecystokinin family.
Tissue SpecificityN/A
Post translational modification The precursor cleaved by enzymes to produce a number of active cholecystokinins.
Function This peptide hormone induces gall bladder contraction and the release of pancreatic enzymes in the gut. Its function in the brain is not clear. Binding to CCK-A receptors stimulates amylase release from the pancreas, binding to CCK-B receptors stimulates gastric acid secretion
