Bombesin is a polypeptide that is found in the brain and gastrointestinal tract. Experimentally it has shown to cause the secretion of various substances (as gastrin and cholecystokinin) and to inhibit intestinal motility.
Bombesin-like peptides are grouped into three families – 1) Bombesin group, viz., bombesin and alytesin, 2) Ranatensin group viz., ranatensins, litorin, and Rohdei litorin, 3) Phyllolitorin group viz., Leu(8)- and Phe(8)-phyllolitorins.
