Neuromedin U Neuromedin U (NmU) is a vertebrate peptide which stimulates uterine smooth muscle contraction and causes selective vasoconstriction. Like most other active peptides, it is proteolytically processed from a larger precursor protein. The mature peptides are 8 (NmU-8) to 25 (NmU-25) residues long and C- terminally amidated. The sequence of the C-terminal extremity of NmU is extremely well conserved in mammals, birds and amphibians. |
