Gastrin receptors (gastric cholecystokinin B receptor, CCK-BR) mediate acid secretion from parietal cells, release of histamine from enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells and contraction of smooth muscle (Ito et al. 1993).The hormone gastrin is the central regulator of gastric acid secretion and in addition, plays a prominent role in regulation of growth and differentiation of gastric and colonic mucosa.
