View Full Description

This gene encodes a member of the tachykinin family of signaling peptides that is widely expressed in the central nervous system and plays a role in diverse processes such as water homeostasis, pulmonary inflammation, cognition, fear memory consolidation and preeclampsia. The encoded protein is enzymatically processed to generate the mature neuropeptide. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
