CCKBR wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human CCKBR wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11p15.4 and is approximately 12 kb in length. This allele, which encodes gastrin/cholecystokinin type B receptor protein, plays a role in modulating the regulatory peptides of the brain and gastrointestinal tract. A misspliced transcript allelic variant that includes an intron has been identified in cells from colorectal and pancreatic tumors.

**Synonyms:** - CCK-B Receptor Gene - CCK-BR - CCK2R - CCKRB - Cholecystokinin B Receptor wt Allele - GASR - Gastrin Receptor Gene
