Summary: Enables receptor ligand activity; substance K receptor binding activity; and substance P receptor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration and tachykinin receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of saliva secretion. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and integumental system. Orthologous to human TAC4 (tachykinin precursor 4).

Our results provide the first evidence for an anxiolytic and anti-depressant-like actions of HK-1 through a presently unknown target-mediated mechanism
Title: Hemokinin-1 mediates anxiolytic and anti-depressant-like actions in mice.
hemokinin-1 plays a crucial pro-inflammatory role in the lung by increasing inflammatory cell activities, and might also be a specific regulator of lymphocyte functions.

Hemokinin-1, but not substance P increases inflammation and hyperalgesia in the late phase of adjuvant-induced arthritis.

These findings suggest that tachykinins and NK1 receptors play a key role in joint inflammation, rather than in nociceptive sensitization, in collagen antibody-induced arthritis A.

cultures from TAC4(-/-) bone marrow, sorted "fraction B" pro-B cells or purified long-term reconstituting stem cells, contain higher numbers of pro-B cells compared with controls, suggesting an inhibitory role for HK-1 on developing B cells
Title: Targeted deletion of the tachykinin 4 gene (TAC4-/-) influences the early stages of B lymphocyte development.
Results suggest that Hemokinin-1 is regulated by a unique transcription regulation system that likely governs its differential expression pattern and suggests a role for Hemokinin-1 distinct from Substance P.

mouse hemokinin 1 and mouse hemokinin 1(2-11) are tachykinin NK(1) receptor-preferring uterotonic agonists in non-pregnant mice but lack action at the myometrial tachykinin NK(2) receptors present in late pregnant mice

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
