TACR2 tachykinin receptor 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 6865)

Symbol: TACR2

Full name: tachykinin receptor 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: NK2R; NKNAR; SKR; TAC2R

Summary: 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 neuropeptide substance K, also referred to as neurokinin A. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
