Product Information

• Name: Bombesin

• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Bombesin is a small peptide that was first isolated from the skin of a frog, Bombina bombina, with homologs later found to be present in mammalian tissues, including the brain and gastrointestinal tract. It is a member of the bombesin-like peptide family, which includes several related peptides such as gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and neuromedin B.Bombesin acts as a neuromodulator and regulates various physiological functions, including gastrointestinal motility and stimulation of gastrin release from G cells. It also plays a role in the regulation of cardiovascular function and neurotransmitter release. In addition, bombesin has been shown to stimulate the growth and proliferation of certain types of cancer cells, including prostate and lung cancer cells, through its interaction with bombesin receptors. It may therefore be used as a potential biomarker for certain cancers.This product is available as a 0.5mg vial.
