Anti-Human NMBR Polyclonal Antibody

Neuromedin-B receptor (NMBR) is a ~43 kDa protein. Receptor for neuromedin-B. Contributes to the maintenance of basal sigh rate through signaling in the pre-Botzinger complex, a cluster of several thousand neurons in the ventrolateral medulla responsible for inspiration during respiratory activity. Contributes to the induction of sneezing following exposure to chemical irritants or allergens which causes release of NMB by nasal sensory neurons and activation of NMBR-expressing neurons in the sneeze-evoking region of the brainstem. These in turn activate neurons of the caudal ventral respiratory group, giving rise to the sneezing response. Contributes to induction of acute itch, possibly through its activation on dorsal root ganglion neurons by the NMB peptide.
