This gene is a member of the tachykinin family of
neurotransmitter-encoding genes. Tachykinin proteins are cleaved
into small, secreted peptides that activate members of a family of
receptor proteins. The products of this gene preferentially
activate tachykinin receptor 1, and are thought to regulate
peripheral endocrine and paracrine functions including blood
pressure, the immune system, and endocrine gland secretion. The
products of this gene lack a dibasic cleavage site found in other
tachykinin proteins. Consequently, the nature of the cleavage
products generated in vivo remains to be determined. Multiple
transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for
this gene
