Bombesin

Bombesin is a 14-residue amphibian peptide related to mammalian gastrin-releasing peptide. It activates bombesin-family GPCRs and is widely studied in gastrointestinal signaling, satiety, tumor biology and receptor targeting.

• neuropeptide receptor pharmacology
• GPCR signaling
• neuroendocrine and smooth-muscle studies
• structure-activity research

Terminal pyroglutamate, amidation and exact residue boundaries are part of the reagent identity and should be retained when comparing tachykinin or bombesin-family activity.
