Tachykinin-3/TAC3 Protein(N-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Tachykinin-3 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Gln17-Glu121 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus. Sequence: Gln17-Glu121. Fusion tag: N-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 16 kDa. Protein function: Tachykinin 3 (TAC3) is a secreted protein that belongs to the Tachykinin family. Tachykinins are active peptides that excite neurons and evoke behavioral responses, they are potent vasodilators and secretagogues, and contract many smooth muscles in pregnancy. TAC3 is primarily expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems and functions as a neurotransmitter. It is also expressed in the outer syncytiotrophoblast of the placenta and may be associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension and pre-eclampsia. TAC3 acts as the ligand for the neurokinin-3 receptor, mutations in this gene are associated with normosmic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. 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. Is a critical central regulator of gonadal function. [The UniProt Consortium]
