Manufactured in: United Kingdom Bombesin was originally isolated from the skin of the European fire-bellied toad (Bombina bombina) and has two known homologues in mammals; neuromedin B (NMB) and gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP).
Bombesin-like peptides are involved in many physiological functions including: regulation of food intake; anxiety and fear–related behaviour; thermoregulation; stress response; learning and memory and in the stimulation of smooth muscle contraction. Bombesin is also a tumour marker for small cell carcinoma in the lung; gastric cancer; pancreatic cancer, and neuroblastoma.
The receptors for these two peptides are G-protein-coupled receptors known as bombesin receptor type 1 (BB1; also known as NMB receptor) and bombesin receptor type 2 (BB2; also known as GRP- receptor). Bombesin shows high affinity to both of these receptor subtypes. These bombesin-like peptides and their receptors are widely distributed in the central nervous system (CNS) and gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
This peptide contains an N-terminal pyroglutamyl to prevent the intramolecular cyclisation of the N-terminal of glutamine to N‐pyroglutamate (pGlu).
