Data Sheet
Background: The tachykinin receptor 2 (TACR2 or NK2) is a receptor for the tachykinin family of peptide neurotransmitters. NK2 receptor selectively binds neurokinin A (substance K), which is predominating in human and animal airways. It has been shown to regulate circular muscle contraction. NK2 can be found in tracheal and gastric tissues.
Application: Functional assays
