Gene: [12q/TAC3] tachykinin 3 (neurokinin B, neurokinin beta, neuromedin K); [NKNB ]


FAG

[1] Neurokinin B is a member of the family of tachykinins (amidated neuropeptides), which are encoded by two genes. One tachykinin gene (GEM:07q2/TAC1) encodes the common precursor of tachykinin 1 (neurokinin A, formerly substance K) and tachykinin 2 (substance P).
