As of 2026-09-14

Cholecystokinin receptor type A shows late clinical disease relevance led by irritable bowel syndrome. 2 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug keeps the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt P32238. Start with irritable bowel syndrome, then reuse UniProt P32238 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
irritable bowel syndrome

Cholecystokinin receptor type A shows late clinical disease relevance led by irritable bowel syndrome. 2 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 1 linked drug remains visible in the same block.

Start review with irritable bowel syndrome because it currently carries late clinical support. Linked drugs include DEXLOXIGLUMIDE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
