abbr. HK-1. This peptide factor, RSRTRQFYGLMamide, has been characterized by Zhang et al (2000) The factor is encoded by the murine PPTC gene (preprotachykinin-C; see also: Tachykinins). The approved gene symbol is TAC4 [tachykinin-4]. The TAC4 gene also encodes three other factors (see: endokinins).
The mRNA for this protein is expressed primarily in hematopoietic cells. Kurtz et al (2002) have isolated and characterized the human and rat orthologs of PPTC. The rat, mouse, and
