Functional synergy between cholecystokinin receptors CCKAR and CCKBR in mammalian brain development.

Functional synergy between cholecystokinin receptors CCKAR and CCKBR in mammalian brain development.

Cholecystokinin (CCK), a peptide hormone and one of the most abundant neuropeptides in vertebrate brain, mediates its actions via two G-protein coupled receptors, CCKAR and CCKBR, respectively active in peripheral organs and the central nervous system. Here, we demonstrate that the CCK receptors hav...
