Function | Tachykinins are active peptides which excite neurons, evoke behavioral responses, are potent vasodilators and secretagogues, and contract (directly or indirectly) many smooth muscles. Endokinin-A induces thermal hyperalgesia and pain-related behavior such as scratching following intrathecal administration in rats. These effects are suppressed by treatment with endokinin- C. Endokinin-A/B reduces arterial blood pressure and increases sperm motility. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12716968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17101218, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17437961, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17655832}. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted {ECO:0000305}. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed at low levels in the uterus of both pregnant and non-pregnant women. Isoform 1 is found only in the adrenal gland and fetal liver. Isoform 2 is found in heart, liver, bone marrow, prostate, adrenal gland and testis. Isoform 3 and isoform 4 are expressed predominantly in adrenal gland and placenta. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12716968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12788812}. |
