  • Title: Expression and electrophysiological identification of the receptor for bombesin and gastrin-releasing peptide in Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with polyA+ RNA from rat brain.
    Author: Meyerhof W, Morley SD, Richter D.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1988 Oct 24; 239(1):109-12. PubMed ID: 2460369.
    Abstract:
    The receptor for bombesin and the related peptide, gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) has been induced in frog oocytes by injection of polyA+ RNA from rat brain. The primed oocytes responded to peptides of the bombesin family (GRP, neuromedin C of bombesin) by showing dose-dependent oscillations in membrane currents as recorded by the voltage-clamp method. The induced membrane changes were suppressed when oocytes were pretreated with a bombesin-receptor antagonist.
