neuromedin B Polyclonal antibody

Neuromedin B (NMB) is a bombesin-like peptide, which inhibits food intake and modulates stress-related behaviour. It exerts its function via NMB receptor (NMB-R). NMB is encoded in a 76-amino acid precursor. The mature NMB was reported to be a 10-amino-acid peptide, giving two bands of 1.2 kDa and 1.5 kDa in western blotting. NMB is expressed in brain, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, adrenals, and adipose tissue. It regulates exocrine and endocrine secretions, cell growth, body temperature and blood pressure and glucose level in vivo.
