OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the gastrin/cholecystokinin family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products, including the peptide hormones cholecystokinin-8, -12, -33, and others. The encoded peptides have been shown to regulate gastric acid secretion and food intake. A sulfated form of cholecystokinin-8 may modulate neuronal activity in the brain. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against CCK can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads CCK as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against CCK could matter depends on whether native CCK is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

CCK is annotated as secreted, so native CCK circulates and is directly accessible to antibodies. Secreted and cell-surface proteins are the autoantibody targets most likely to act like drugs, blocking or depleting the native protein.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label CCK as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
