CCK codes for cholecystokinin. It is a brain/gut peptide. This gene is located on human chromosome 3p22.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human CCK
Application
Anti-CCK antibody produced in rabbit has been used in staining.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a brain/gut peptide. In the gut, it induces the release of pancreatic enzymes and the contraction of the gallbladder. In the brain, its physiologic role is unclear. The cholecystokinin pro-hormone is processed by endo- and exo-proteolytic cleavages.
Sequence
Synthetic peptide located within the following region: IQQARKAPSGRMSIVKNLQNLDPSHRISDRDYMGWMDFGRRSAEEYEYPS
Physical form
Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Mechanism of action of cholecystokinin: a not atypical brain-gut peptide
Structural synaptic plasticity may underlie experience and learning-dependent changes in cortical circuits. In contrast to excitatory pyramidal neurons, insight into the structural plasticity of inhibitory neurons remains limited. Interneurons are divided into various subclasses, each with specialized functions in cortical
