NCIt synonyms : NMBR; Neuromedin B Receptor; Epididymis Tissue Protein Li 185a; Bombesin Receptor 1; Neuromedin-B-Preferring Bombesin Receptor; NMB-R;
NCIt definition : Neuromedin-B receptor (390 aa, 43 kDa) is encoded by the human NMBR gene. This protein
is involved in both peptide hormone binding and G protein-coupled receptor signaling.;
NCIt note : A mammalian homolog of amphibian bombesin, Neuromedin B receptor binds neuromedin
B, a potent mitogen and growth factor for normal and neoplastic lung and for gastrointestinal
epithelial tissue.;
