| Tissue Specificity | Expressed throughout the gastrointestinal tract with highest levels in the duodenum and jejunum. Low levels in spinal cord, hypothalamus, and stomach. Neuromedin-U-23: Expressed in the small intestine and the pituitary gland (at protein level). Neuromedin precursor-related peptides: Expressed in pituitary gland and small intestine (at protein level). |
| Post Translational Modifications | |
| Function | Neuromedin-U-23: Ligand for receptors NMUR1 and NMUR2. Receptor-binding is very tight if not irreversible and triggers an increase in the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration. Stimulates muscle contractions of specific regions of the gastrointestinal tract. In rat, NMU stimulates contractions of stomach circular muscle. 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. |
