DescriptionCholecystokinins precursor (CCK) [Contains: Cholecystokinin 70(CCK70); Cholecystokinin 8 (CCK8); Cholecystokinin 7 (CCK7)].
Source organismStruthio camelus (Ostrich)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Archosauria; Dinosauria; Saurischia; Theropoda; Coelurosauria; Aves;Palaeognathae; Struthioniformes; Struthionidae; Struthio.
Subcellular locationSecreted
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the gastrin/cholecystokinin family.
Tissue SpecificityHighly concentrated in the duodenum. Also localized in more distal parts of the small intestine
Post translational modification The precursor is cleaved by enzymes to produce a number of active cholecystokinins.
FunctionThis peptide hormone induces gall bladder contraction and the release of pancreatic enzymes in the gut. Its function in the brain is not clear
