Human Neuromedin BR/NMBR Antibody

Neuromedin B Receptor (NMBR) is an 80 kDa, 390 amino acid (aa) G-protein coupled 7-transmembrane glycoprotein receptor for bombesin-like peptides, binding Neuromedin B with high affinity and GRP (gastrin releasing peptide) with lower affinity.  Neuromedin B R expression in the olfactory and central thalamic regions of the brain plays a role in thermoregulation. It has also been shown to be mitogenic in colonic epithelium. Expression in the pituitary gland is important for regulation of the pituitary-thyroid axis. Within extracellular domains, human Neuromedin B R shares 86% and 82% aa identity with mouse and rat Neuromedin B R, respectively.
