Source: NCBI Gene (ID 6344)
Symbol: SCTR
Full name: secretin receptor
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: SR
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled receptor and belongs to the glucagon-VIP-secretin receptor family. It binds secretin which is the most potent regulator of pancreatic bicarbonate, electrolyte and volume secretion. Secretin and its receptor are suggested to be involved in pancreatic cancer and autism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
