UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: O54799 (O54799)
Gene Name:
Nmbr
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Receptor for neuromedin-B (By similarity). Contributes to the maintenance of basal sigh rate through signaling in the pre-Botzinger complex, a cluster of several thousand neurons in the ventrolateral medulla responsible for inspiration during respiratory activity (PubMed:26855425). Contributes to the induction of sneezing following exposure to chemical irritants or allergens which causes release of NMB by nasal sensory neurons and activation of NMBR-expressing neurons in the sneeze-evoking region of the brainstem (PubMed:34133943). These in turn activate neurons of the caudal ventral respiratory group, giving rise to the sneezing response (PubMed:34133943). Contributes to induction of acute itch, possibly through its activation on dorsal root ganglion neurons by the NMB peptide (PubMed:30734045). Plays a role in the innate immune response to influenza A virus infection by enhancing interferon alpha expression and reducing expression of IL6 (PubMed:31601264). Plays a role in CSF1-induced proliferation of osteoclast precursors by contributing to the positive regulation of the expression of the CSF1 receptor CSF1R (PubMed:28780306)
