Gastrin Releasing Peptide, human

Ref. 3D-FG73407

Product Information

• Name: Gastrin Releasing Peptide, human
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Gastrin Releasing Peptide (GRP) is a peptide hormone that stimulates the release of gastric acid. It is also known as bombesin, neuromedin B, and neuropeptide B. GRP is a member of the secretin family of hormones and has growth factor activity. GRP is expressed in human endometrial cells where it stimulates follicular growth and ovulation. GRP binds to its receptor on cell membranes, which activates phospholipase C and protein kinase C leading to increased cellular proliferation. The physiological effects of GRP are mediated by the activation of aminopeptidases and proteases, which cleave peptides into smaller fragments that activate receptors for other hormones or neurotransmitters.
