Gastrin-Releasing Peptide (GRP), Human

Gastrin-releasing peptide is a mammalian bombesin-family neuropeptide that activates GRPR. It regulates gastrointestinal hormone release, neuronal signaling and cell proliferation and is important in receptor-targeting research.

• 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.
