Target Details for Neuromedin U

Target: Neuromedin U (NMU)

Alternative Name: NMU

Background:

Synonyms: Neuromedin-U, Neuromedin-U-25, NmU-25, NMU

Tissue Specificity: Expressed throughout the enteric nervous system with highest levels being found in the jejunum.

Background: Neuromedin U (NMU) is a neuropeptide with potent activity on smooth muscle, which was isolated first from porcine spinal cord and later from other species. It is a member of the neuromedin family of neuropeptides. The encoded protein is a precursor that is proteolytically processed to generate a biologically active neuropeptide that plays a role in pain, stress, immune-mediated inflammatory diseases and feeding regulation. Increased expression of this gene was observed in renal, pancreatic and lung cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Some of these isoforms may undergo similar processing to generate the mature peptide.
