The neuromedin B receptor (NMBR), now known as BB1[4] is a G protein-coupled receptor whose endogenous ligand is neuromedin B.[5] In humans, this protein is encoded by the NMBRgene.
Neuromedin B receptor binds neuromedin B, a potent mitogen and growth factor for normal and neoplastic lung and for gastrointestinal epithelial tissue.[6]
