Tachykinin receptor 3, also known as TACR3, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the TACR3 gene.[4][5]

Function

This gene belongs to a family of genes that function as receptors for tachykinins. Receptor affinities are specified by variations in the 5'-end of the sequence. The receptors belonging to this family are characterized by interactions with G proteins and 7 hydrophobic transmembrane regions. This gene encodes the receptor for the tachykinin neurokinin 3, also referred to as neurokinin B.[5]

Selective ligands

Several selective ligands are available for NK3. Two compounds osanetant and talnetant are being developed for treatment of various indications.[6]
