Subcellular locationSecreted
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the gastrin/cholecystokinin family.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in brain, lung, testis and throughout the length of the small intestine. In the brain, expressed predominantly in the optic tectum and brain stem
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
