Cholecystokinin. Cholecystokinin (CCK) is also colocalized with dopaminergic neurons and has two receptor subtypes, CCK-A being predominantly outside of and CCK-B within the central nervous system. Studies of CCK agonists and antagonists to date have not given clear clues as to their potential for therapeutic actions in schizophrenia.
