Summary: Enables neuromedin B receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including arachidonate secretion; positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration; and regulation of hormone secretion. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Predicted to be active in neuron projection. Biomarker of obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human NMB (neuromedin B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

NMB stimulates the reproductive axis in male rats.
Title: Neuromedin B stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in male rats.
The expression of NMU mRNA in the female rat pituitary is reduced as the rats develop from the pubertal to the mature period. Additionally, the reduction of pituitary NMU is related to the increases in estradiol and insulin that occur during puberty.
Title: Estradiol suppresses NMU mRNA expression during sexual maturation in the female rat pituitary.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
