Neuromedin U receptor 1 is a GPCR protein which binds with the neuropeptide, neuromedin. It is involved in the regulation of feeding and energy homeostasis and related with immune mediated inflammatory diseases like asthma. It plays an important role in maintaining the biological clock and in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract. Analysing the structural features of the receptor is crucial in studying the pathophysiology of the diseases related to the receptor important. As the three dimensional structure of the protein is not available, in this study, we have performed the homology modelling of the receptor using 5 different templates. The models were subjected to model validation and two models were selected as optimal. These models could be helpful in analysing the structural features of neuromedin U receptor 1 and their role in disorders related to them.
