Svensk definition
Cellyteproteiner som binder kolecystokinin (CCK) med hög affinitet och utlöser intracellulära processer som påverkar cellers beteende. Kolecystokininreceptorer aktiveras av gastrin samt CCK-4, CCK-8 och CCK-33. Aktiveringen framkallar utsöndring av amylas från acinära bukspottkörtelceller, syra och pepsin från magslemhinnans celler och sammandragning av pylorus (nedre magmunnen) och gallblåsan. Vilken roll den stora mängden CCK-receptorer har i det centrala nervsystemet är inte klarlagd.
Engelsk definition
Cell surface proteins that bind cholecystokinin (CCK) with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Cholecystokinin receptors are activated by GASTRIN as well as by CCK-4; CCK-8; and CCK-33. Activation of these receptors evokes secretion of AMYLASE by pancreatic acinar cells, acid and PEPSIN by stomach mucosal cells, and contraction of the PYLORUS and GALLBLADDER. The role of the widespread CCK receptors in the central nervous system is not well understood.
