Neuromedin B receptor

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


The neuromedin B receptor (NMBR), now known as BB1 [4] is a G protein-coupled receptor whose endogenous ligand is neuromedin B.[5] In humans, this protein is encoded by the NMBR gene.

Neuromedin B receptor binds neuromedin B, a potent mitogen and growth factor for normal and neoplastic lung and for gastrointestinal epithelial tissue.[6]
