Tachykinin receptor 2
Tachykinin receptor 2 (TACR2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TACR2 gene. It is one of the three known receptors for the tachykinin family of neuropeptides.
Function[edit | edit source]
TACR2 is a member of a larger family of G protein-coupled receptors. It is a receptor for neurokinin A, a neuropeptide in the tachykinin family. Neurokinin A is a neurotransmitter involved in various biological processes including pain perception and smooth muscle contraction.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
Alterations in the function or expression of TACR2 have been associated with various diseases, including asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, and migraines. Drugs that block the action of TACR2 may have potential therapeutic uses in these conditions.
