gastrin receptor activity
Definition
Target type: molecularfunction
Combining with gastrin and transmitting the signal across the membrane by activating an associated G-protein to initiate a change in cell activity. [GOC:ai, GOC:signaling]
Gastrin receptor activity is a molecular function associated with the G protein-coupled receptor known as the cholecystokinin receptor type B (CCKBR), also referred to as the gastrin receptor. This receptor plays a crucial role in regulating digestive processes, particularly in the stomach and the small intestine. Upon binding of gastrin, a peptide hormone, to the gastrin receptor, a signaling cascade is initiated. This cascade involves the activation of heterotrimeric G proteins, specifically Gαq/11 proteins, which in turn activate phospholipase C (PLC). PLC hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) into diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol trisphosphate (IP3). DAG activates protein kinase C (PKC), while IP3 triggers the release of calcium ions (Ca2+) from intracellular stores. The combined effects of PKC activation and Ca2+ mobilization lead to a multitude of downstream cellular responses, including:
- Stimulation of gastric acid secretion by parietal cells, a key process in digestion.
- Stimulation of gastrin release from G cells in the stomach, which acts in an autocrine and paracrine manner to amplify the gastrin signaling pathway.
- Stimulation of smooth muscle contraction in the stomach and gallbladder, facilitating food movement and bile release.
- Stimulation of pancreatic enzyme secretion, which aids in digestion.
- Modulation of neuronal signaling in the gastrointestinal tract, contributing to the regulation of appetite and satiety.
Gastrin receptor activity is tightly regulated to ensure proper digestion and prevent detrimental effects such as ulcers and gastrointestinal disorders. Dysregulation of gastrin signaling can lead to various pathological conditions, emphasizing the importance of understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in this receptor activity.'
