Description
Product Characteristics:
This is a receptor for the tachykinin neuropeptide neuromedin-K (neurokinin B). It is associated with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The rank order of affinity of this receptor to tachykinins is: neuromedin-K > substance K > substance P.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: NKR, HH11, NK3R, NK-3R, TAC3RL, Neuromedin-K receptor, NK-3 receptor, Neurokinin B receptor, Tachykinin receptor 3, TACR3, TAC3R
Target Information: This gene belongs to a family of genes that function as receptors for tachykinins. Receptor affinities are specified by variations in the 5'-end of the sequence. The receptors belonging to this family are characterized by interactions with G proteins and 7 hydrophobic transmembrane regions. This gene encodes the receptor for the tachykinin neurokinin 3, also referred to as neurokinin B. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
