Cholecystokinin release pathway

“Cholecystokinin release pathway" refers to a signaling pathway—an organized sequence of molecular events regulating the release of the peptide hormone cholecystokinin (CCK)—rather than to a specific molecule, protein, or canonical therapeutic target such as a receptor, enzyme, or transporter. The pathway involves the sensing of dietary fats and amino acids by enteroendocrine I cells in the small intestine, leading to CCK secretion, which then acts through G protein-coupled receptors (CCK1/CCK2) to regulate digestive processes[1][2][3][5][6][7]. As such, it is not considered a therapeutic "target" in the usual molecular sense, and the entry is too broad to map directly to the structure requested.
