Gastrin, chicken is a polypeptide hormone produced by gastric G cells in chickens, playing a crucial role in regulating digestive functions such as gastric acid secretion, gastrointestinal motility, and mucosal cell growth. Similar to its mammalian counterparts, chicken gastrin binds to cholecystokinin receptors (CCK receptors) in the gut, initiating signaling pathways that modulate acid production and nutrient digestion. While structurally distinct from human or mammalian gastrins, this peptide shares conserved functional domains essential for receptor interaction and biological activity. It is used in avian research to study gastrointestinal physiology, species-specific digestive mechanisms, and the role of gastrin in poultry health and nutrition. As a model for comparative endocrinology, chicken gastrin helps characterize evolutionary differences in digestive hormone regulation and supports studies on disorders affecting avian digestive systems.
