About Nmb

Summary

Enables neuromedin B receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including arachidonic acid secretion; glucose homeostasis; and regulation of hormone secretion. Located in neuron projection. Biomarker of obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human NMB (neuromedin B).
