FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains

isoforms

Precursor

precursor processed by endo and exo-proteolytic cleavages 33AA peptide into a tetrapeptide amide sequence identical to that of gastrin

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY

gastrin/cholecystin family

CATEGORY

signaling hormone neurotransmitter

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular

basic FUNCTION	involved in gallbladder contraction
	by separately regulating EGR1 activation and synthesis, CCK and leptin interact cooperatively to define the capacity for satiety signaling by vagal afferent neurons

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

behavioral

text	regulator of feeding by producing a feeling of satiety, also involved in learning, memory, anxiety, pain, drug dependence

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	receptors CCKAR, CCKBR
	interacting with leptin and EGR1
