The neuromedin U receptors are two G-protein coupled receptors which bind the neuropeptide hormones neuromedin U and neuromedin S.[1] There are two subtypes of the neuromedin U receptor, each encoded by a separate gene (NMUR1, NMUR2).

Selective Ligands

Neuromedin U is an agonist at both the NMU1 and NMU2 subtypes, while neuromedin S is selective for NMU2, and is a more potent agonist at this subtype than neuromedin U.[2][3] Several other peptide and non-peptide ligands are also available for the NMU receptors.

Agonists

Non-selective
NMU2 selective

Antagonists
