Abstract

The e0istence of the hormone gastrin in the distal stomach 1antrum2 has 3een .no"n for almost 114 years, and the physiological function of this amidated peptide in regulating gastric acid secretion ia the CC)/ receptor is no" "ell esta3lished, In this 3rief re ie" "e consider important additional roles of gastrin including regulation of genes encoding proteins such as plasminogen acti ator inhi3itors and matri0 metalloproteinases that ha e important actions on e0tracellular matri0 remodelling, These actions are, at least in part, effected 3y paracrine signalling path"ays and ma.e important contri3utions to maintaining functional integrity of the gastric epithelium, Recent studies also pro ide support for the idea that gastrin, in concert "ith other hormones, could potentially contri3ute a post5 prandial incretin effect, 6e also re ie" recent de elopments in the 3iology of other gastrin gene products, including the precursor progastrin, "hich causes proliferation of the colonic epithelium and in certain circumstances may induce cancer formation, 7lycine5e0tended 3iosynthetic processing intermediates also ha e proliferati e effects in colonic mucosa and in some oesophageal cancer cell lines, 6hether or not these additional gene products e0ert their effects through the CC)/ receptor or a separate entity is currently a matter of de3ate,

Introduction. It is o er 144 years since *d.ins, inspired 3y the "or. of 'ayliss and #tarling, proposed the e0istence of gastrin as a humoral mediator of gastric acid secretion 1*d.ins, 1%482, 9o"e er, the status of gastrin remained contro ersial for many years, and although physiological proof of an acid5stimulating hormone from gastric antrum "as presented in 1%:; 17rossman et al., 1%:;2, it "as not until 1%$: that gastrin "as isolated and its structure determined 17regory < Tracy, 1%$:2, The su3se=uent a aila3ility to in estigators of pure gastrin allo"ed detailed =uantitati e studies on its primary physiological function, It also ga e rise to many reports of actions in addition to that of stimulating acid secretion 17regory, 1%>:2 and although these no el actions "ere often elicited 3y ery high
