The bombesin receptors are a group of
G-protein coupled receptors which bind
bombesin.
Three bombesin receptors are currently known:
BB
1, previously known as
Neuromedin B receptor
The neuromedin B receptor (NMBR), now known as BB1 is a G protein-coupled receptor whose endogenous ligand is neuromedin B. In humans, this protein is encoded by the ''NMBR'' gene.
Neuromedin B receptor binds neuromedin B, a potent mitogen and ...
BB
2, previously known as
Gastrin-releasing peptide receptor
The gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), now properly known as BB2 is a G protein-coupled receptor whose endogenous ligand is gastrin releasing peptide. In humans it is highly expressed in the pancreas and is also expressed in the stoma ...
BB
3, previously known as
Bombesin-like receptor 3
