BB1 receptor knockout mice show a disruption in thermoregulation, but no effect on smooth muscle contraction or feeding suppression, providing evidence that the 3 bombesin receptors have distinct tissue functions.
Species:  Mouse
Tissue:  In vivo.
Technique:  Gene targeting in embryonic stem cells.
References:  20
BB1 receptor knockouts showed altered behavioural responsiveness to stress. Knockout mice subjected to stress show memory impairment, although no change to anxiety levels or pain response.
Species:  Mouse
Tissue:  In vivo.
Technique:  Gene targeting in embryonic stem cells.
References:  37
BB1 receptor knockout mice show decreased marble burying behaviour. This has previously been found to be mediated by 5-HT neurons, and so the BB1 receptor may modulate 5-HT neuronal activity.
Species:  Mouse
Tissue:  In vivo.
Technique:  Gene targeting in embryonic stem cells.
References:  38
BB1 receptor knockout mice show reduced hypothermic effect of NMB, but not the effects on gastric smooth muscle contraction or feeding behavior.
Species:  Mouse
Tissue:  In vivo.
Technique:  Gene targeting in embryonic stem cells.
References:  20
BB1 receptor knockout mice showed increased stress vunerability. The knockout mice showed normal maternal behaviour until they were subjected to restraint-induced stress, which caused the mice to exhibit severely decreased maternal behaviour.
Species:  Mouse
