Full name: bombesin receptor subtype 3

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: BB3; BB3R; BBR3

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled membrane receptor that binds bombesin-like peptides. This binding results in activation of a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system, with physiological effects including regulation of metabolic rate, glucose metabolism, and hypertension.
