Swiss-prot Accession numberQ9PU41 (Sequence in FASTA format)
DescriptionCholecystokinins precursor (CCK) [Contains: Cholecystokinin 70(CCK70); Cholecystokinin 8 (CCK8); Cholecystokinin 7 (CCK7)].
Source organismGallus gallus (Chicken)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Archosauria; Dinosauria; Saurischia; Theropoda; Coelurosauria; Aves;Neognathae; Galliformes; Phasianidae; Phasianinae; Gallus.
Subcellular locationSecreted
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the gastrin/cholecystokinin family.
Tissue SpecificityIn the small intestine, the major production site is around the vitelline diverticulum
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. It also decreases food intake and regulates gastrointestinal physiological processes.
