Gene information for TAC3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6866
Official gene symbolTAC3
Full nametachykinin 3
Aliases,NKB,NKNB,PRO1155,ZNEUROK1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the tachykinin family of secreted neuropeptides. The encoded protein is primarily expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system and functions as a neurotransmitter. This protein is the ligand for the neurokinin-3 receptor. This protein is also expressed in the outer syncytiotrophoblast of the placenta and may be associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension and pre-eclampsia. Mutations in this gene are associated with normosmic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
