An Update on the Lithogenic Mechanisms of Cholecystokinin a Receptor (CCKAR), an Important Gallstone Gene for <i>Lith13</i>

The cholecystokinin A receptor (CCKAR) is expressed predominantly in the gallbladder and small intestine in the digestive system, where it is responsible for CCK’s regulation of gallbladder and small intestinal motility. The effect of CCKAR on small intestinal transit is a physiological response for...
