Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 255061
Gene name Tachykinin precursor 4
Gene symbol TAC4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
EKHK-1HK1PPT-C
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17q21.33
Summary This gene is a member of the tachykinin family of neurotransmitter-encoding genes. Tachykinin proteins are cleaved into small, secreted peptides that activate members of a family of receptor proteins. The products of this gene preferentially activate tach

Protein name Tachykinin-4 (Preprotachykinin-C) (PPT-C) [Cleaved into: Endokinin-A (EKA); Endokinin-A/B (EKA/B); Endokinin-C (EKC)]
Protein 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 beh
