The cholecystokinin A receptor (CCK-AR) modulates CCK-stimulated dopamine release in the posterior nucleus accumbens, and its gene is mapped to 4p15.2-15.1 with the dopamine receptor 5 (DR5) gene. We speculated that alterations in the CCK-AR lead to an increase in dopamine release, which may in turn

Possible involvement of receptors in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia has been suggested. In this study we searched systematically for polymorphisms in the 5-franking region of the 1 receptor. Genetic variation in this region could reduce the expression of the gene, and this suggestion is compatibl
Genetic variations in the 5-untranslated region and the coding region of the CCK-B receptor (CCK-BR) gene were investigated in healthy controls. Novel variants (-215 CโA, Leu37Phe, Arg319Glu) were found in addition to the mutations (Val125Iso, His207His, Arg215His, 2491 CโA) reported previously. In
