Tachykinin receptor 2
Appearance
Template:PBB Substance-K receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TACR2 gene.[1]
Selective Ligands
Several selective ligands for NK2 are now available, and although most of the compounds developed so far are peptides, one small-molecule antagonist Saredutant is currently in clinical trials as an anxiolytic and antidepressant.
