Specifications
Target Information
Gastrin (also known as GAST) is encoded by the GAST gene in pigs. It is a hormone secreted by G-cells in the stomach and duodenum that functions as both a mucosal growth factor and a stimulator of mast and parietal cells. Gastrin binds to cholecystokinin B receptors to stimulate the release of histamines in enterochromaffin-like cells. It induces the insertion of K+/H+ ATPase pumps into the apical membrane of parietal cells, increasing H+ release into the stomach cavity.
