Protachykinin-1/TAC1 Protein(N-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Protachykinin-1 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Glu20-Arg129 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus. Sequence: Glu20-Arg129. Fusion tag: N-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 18 kDa. Protein function: Protachykinin-1(TAC1) is a secreted protein and belongs to the tachykinin family. TAC1 is encoded by the TAC1 gene. This gene encodes four products of the tachykinin peptide hormone family, substance P and neurokinin A, as well as the related peptides, neuropeptide K and neuropeptide gamma. These hormones are thought to function as neurotransmitters which interact with nerve receptors and smooth muscle cells. They are known to induce behavioral responses and function as vasodilators and secretagogues. 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.
