Tachykinin Receptor 2
Substance-K receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''TACR2'' gene. Function 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. Selective Ligands Several selective ligands for NK2 are now available, and although most of the compounds developed so far are peptides, one small-molecule antagonist Saredutant is currently in clinical trials as an anxiolytic and antidepressant. Agonists * GR-64349 - potent and selective agonist, EC50 3.7nM, 7-amino acid polypeptide chain. CAS# 137593-52-3 Antagonists * Ibodutant - failed its Phase 3 trial for IBS treatment in 2015, and abandoned by Menarini * Saredutant - mixed but ...
