| Gene and Protein Information Comments | ||||||
| For human NMU2, sequences encoding both 412 and 415 amino acids have been reported as a consequence of the presence of two potential translation initiation sites. It is unclear which form is expressed physiologically, although there is circumstantial evidence to favour the shorter form [4]. There is evidence for the existence of receptor haplotypes [3]. |

| 1) pIC50 for neuromedin S is determined against 50pM [125I-Tyr0]-neuromedin S 2) Agonism and pEC50 values are based on Ca2+ signaling by recombinant receptors expressed in cell lines. 3) Modified peptide ligands and non-peptide ligands have emerged that have high potency and improved pharmacokinetic features. These include compounds with NMU2 selectivity [30-32,47,51] (see General Introduction). NY0116 exhibits very slight NMU2 selectivity compared to NMU1, but interactions with other GPCRs cannot be excluded. |
