Description
Litorin, an amphibian bombesin peptide derivative, is an bombesin receptor agonist. Litorin stimulates the contraction of smooth muscle, stimulates gastrin, gastric acid, and pancreatic secretion, and suppresses the nutriment in vivo.

In Vivo
Litorin stimulates the contraction of smooth muscle, stimulates gastrin, gastric acid, and pancreatic secretion, and suppresses the nutriment in in vivo experiments.
In Vitro
99mTc-Litorin is developed for non-invasive imaging of tumors with overexpressed gastrin-releasing peptide receptors (GRP-R).
