CCK-58 is an endogenous peptide fragment from the cholecystokinin precursor protein, but there is no affinity data available for this ligand at cholecystokinin receptors. For the rodent homologues of this peptide please see the following ligand entries: CCK-58 (mouse) and CCK-58 (rat). Gastrin-34 is one of the main forms of secreted gastrin present in the blood but there is no activity data for its interactions with this receptor. For the rodent homologues of this peptide please see gastrin-34 (mouse) and gastrin-34 (rat). Desulfated gastrin-14 (minigastrin) is an endogenous antagonist of cholecystokinin and radiolabelled analogues of this peptide are used as probes for this receptor. The gastrin precursor peptide is also cleaved into larger peptides gastrin-52 and gastrin-71.
