Coy DH, Mungan Z, Rossowski WJ, Cheng BL, Lin JT, Mrozinski JE, Jensen RT : Development of a potent bombesin receptor antagonist with prolonged in vivo inhibitory activity on bombesin-stimulated amylase and protein release in the rat.

In mammals and birds two categories of bombesin-like peptides are known, gastrin-releasing peptide ( GRP ), which stimulates the release of gastrin as well as other gastrointestinal hormones, and neuromedin B ( NMB ), a neuropeptide whose function is not yet clear.
13.
The amphibian peptides which belong to this family are currently classified into three subfamilies; the Bombesin group, which includes bombesin and alytesin; the Ranatensin group, which includes ranatensins, litorin, and Rohdei litorin; and the Phyllolitorin group, which includes Leu ( 8 )-and Phe ( 8 )-phyllolitorins.
