“…Both receptors couple to G-proteins (Wank et al, 1994), and their relative distributions in the CNS and peripheral nervous system correlate well with CCK immunoreactivity (Dockray, 1987;Hays et al, 1980;Innis and Snyder, 1980). Cholecystokinin receptors have been shown to interact with several different cellular transduction systems in central and peripheral tissues, including the activation of phospholipase C (Kuwahara et al, 1993;Lee et al, 1993;Wu and Wang, 1996b), the modulation of potassium and calcium channels (Boden and Hill, 1988;Buckett and Saint, 1989;Miyoshi et al, 1991;Branchereau et al, 1993;Cox et al, 1995;Liu et al, 1995), and activation of nonselective cation channels (Dodd and Kelly, 1981;Jarvis et al, 1992).…”
