Neuromedin U polyclonal, anti-chicken, rat

Quantity: 100 µl

Background:
Neuromedin U (or NmU) is a neuropeptide found in the brain of humans and other mammals, which has a number of diverse functions including contraction of smooth muscle, regulation of blood pressure, pain perception, appetite, bone growth, and hormone release. It was first isolated from the spinal cord in 1985, and named after its ability to cause smooth muscle contraction in the uterus. Neuromedin U is a highly conserved neuropeptide present in many species, existing as multiple isoforms.
