| Tissue Specificity | Expressed throughout the enteric nervous system with highest levels being found in the jejunum. |
| Function | Neuromedin-U-25: Ligand for receptors NMUR1 and NMUR2. Stimulates muscle contractions of specific regions of the gastrointestinal tract. In humans, NmU stimulates contractions of the ileum and urinary bladder. Neuromedin precursor-related peptide 33: Does not function as a ligand for either NMUR1 or NMUR2. Indirectly induces prolactin release although its potency is much lower than that of neuromedin precursor-related peptide 36. Neuromedin precursor-related peptide 36: Does not function as a ligand for either NMUR1 or NMUR2. Indirectly induces prolactin release from lactotroph cells in the pituitary gland, probably via the hypothalamic dopaminergic system. |
