Gene context of Upper Gastrointestinal Tract

  • Comparisons among humans, dogs, and rats suggest that localization and density of CCK receptor subtypes in the upper gastrointestinal tract are species-dependent [30].
  • The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution and pharmacological characteristics of CCK-A and CCK-B receptors in the human upper gastrointestinal tract and compare them with those in the rat and dog [30].
  • Neurons containing VMAT2 constituted 14-20% of all intrinsic neurons in the upper GI tract, and there was an equal number of TH-positive neurons [31].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Localization of CCK receptor subtypes in human upper gastrointestinal tract provides a biochemical and morphological basis for the separate regulatory roles of gastrin and CCK [30].
  • The GPR66/FM-3 mRNA is prominently expressed in the upper GI tract of humans, as is the mRNA for NmU, consistent with role for this receptor-ligand pair in regulating the function of this organ system [32].
