Centrally administered hemokinin-1 (HK-1), a neurokinin NK1 receptor agonist, produces substance P-like behavioral effects in mice and gerbils.

Neuropharmacology 45(2) , 242-50, (2003)

Hemokinin-1 (HK-1) is a recently described mouse tachykinin peptide whose biological functions are not fully understood. To date, a unique receptor for HK-1 has not been identified. Recent studies suggest HK-1 may have a role in immunological functions, but t...

T-cell developmental blockage by tachykinin antagonists and the role of hemokinin 1 in T lymphopoiesis.

Blood 102(6) , 2165-72, (2003)

Hemokinin 1 (HK-1) is a new member of the tachykinin peptide family that is expressed in hematopoietic cells. Recent reports studying mouse, rat, and human orthologs of HK-1 demonstrate a broader distribution than originally reported. Our previous studies dem...

Characterization of the endokinins: human tachykinins with cardiovascular activity.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 100 , 6245-6250, (2003)

We report four human tachykinins, endokinins A, B, C, and D (EKA-D), encoded from a single tachykinin precursor 4 gene that generates four mRNAs (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta). Tachykinin 4 gene expression was detected primarily in adrenal gland and in the p...

Newly discovered tachykinins raise new questions about their peripheral roles and the tachykinin nomenclature.

Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 25 , 1-3, (2004)

The tachykinin family has recently been extended by the discovery of a third tachykinin gene encoding previously unknown mammalian tachykinins (hemokinin 1, endokinin A and endokinin B) that have a widespread peripheral distribution and a tachykinin NK(1) rec...

Expression and function of human hemokinin-1 in human and guinea pig airways.

Respir. Res. 11 , 139, (2010)

Human hemokinin-1 (hHK-1) and endokinins are peptides of the tachykinin family encoded by the TAC4 gene. TAC4 and hHK-1 expression as well as effects of hHK-1 in the lung and airways remain however unknown and were explored in this study.RT-PCR analysis was p...
