    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrin_family

    The gastrin family (also known as the gastrin/cholecystokinin family) of proteins is defined by the peptide hormones gastrin and cholecystokinin. [1] Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) [ 2 ] are structurally and functionally related peptide hormones that serve as regulators of various digestive processes and feeding behaviors.

  3. Cholecystokinin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholecystokinin

    CCK has been shown to interact with the cholecystokinin A receptor located mainly on pancreatic acinar cells and cholecystokinin B receptor mostly in the brain and stomach. CCK B receptor also binds gastrin, a gastrointestinal hormone involved in stimulating gastric acid release and growth of the gastric mucosa.

  5. Gastrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrin

    Gastrin is a linear peptide hormone produced by G cells of the duodenum and in the pyloric antrum of the stomach.It is secreted into the bloodstream. The encoded polypeptide is preprogastrin, which is cleaved by enzymes in posttranslational modification to produce progastrin (an intermediate, inactive precursor) and then gastrin in various forms, primarily the following three:

    Little gastrin: 2098: 17: Both forms of gastrin are found in the gastric antrum and duodenum: Gastrins stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, pepsinogen, intrinsic factor, and secretin; stimulate intestinal mucosal growth; increase gastric and intestinal motility Big gastrin: 3839: 34: Secretin-glucagon family: Secretin: 3056: 27: Duodenum ...

    Enterochromaffin-like cells are enteroendocrine and neuroendocrine cells also known for their similarity to chromaffin cells secreting histamine, which stimulates G cells to secrete gastrin. Other hormones produced include cholecystokinin , somatostatin , vasoactive intestinal peptide , substance P , alpha and gamma-endorphin .

    The stomach's contents are inhibited from emptying into the small intestine by: duodenal distension [3] [2] duodenal acidic pH [4] duodenal hypertonicity [5] [6] increased osmolarity of gastric chyme [5] [6] sympathetic stimulation [citation needed] intense pain [citation needed] Cholecystokinin, Secretin, Vasoactive intestinal peptide
