The gastrin-releasing peptide/bombesin system revisited by a reverse-evolutionary study considering Xenopus

Abstract Bombesin is a putative antibacterial peptide isolated from the skin of the frog, Bombina bombina. Two related (bombesin-like) peptides, gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and neuromedin B (NMB) have been found in mammals. The history of GRP/bombesin discovery has caused little attention to be...
