Core Tip	We isolated the sling and clasp muscles which help form the human lower esophageal sphincter. The expression of cholecystokinin (CCK)-A and CCK-B receptors was measured in the two muscles. The binding of 3H-CCK-8S to the CCK receptors was studied to determine the binding characteristics of the hormone to the receptor subtypes. It is concluded that the CCK-A receptor probably plays a more important role than the CCK-B receptor in mediating the contractile function of lower esophageal sphincter, through a combination of more receptors and a stronger binding affinity.
