GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NMB (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
MGC17211, MGC2277, MGC3936
Description
Neuromedin B (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the bombesin-like family of neuropeptides, which negatively regulate eating behavior. The encoded protein may regulate colonic smooth muscle contraction through binding to its cognate receptor, the neuromedin B receptor (NMBR). Polymorphisms of this gene may be associated with hunger, weight gain and obesity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
