Bombesin – 1 mg

Overview

Bombesin is a 14-amino acid peptide initially discovered in the fire-bellied toad. This peptide has significant relevance in both research and clinical settings, with two known mammalian homologs: neuromedin and Gastrin-Releasing Peptide (GRP). With its ability to bind effectively to the GRP receptor, a part of the G-protein-coupled receptor family, bombesin plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including the stimulation of gastrin release from G cells and the modulation of appetite in the brain.

Beyond its physiological functions, bombesin has gained attention due to its diagnostic potential as a tumor marker for several types of cancer, including lung small cell carcinoma, neuroblastoma, pancreatic cancer, and gastric cancer. This dual role makes bombesin a valuable asset for both research and clinical applications.
