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 neuropeptide substance K, also referred to as neurokinin A.^[5]

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.

Agonists

• GR-64349 - potent and selective agonist, EC₅₀ 3.7nM, 7-amino acid polypeptide chain. CAS# 137593-52-3

Antagonists

• Ibodutant - failed its Phase 3 trial for IBS treatment in 2015, and abandoned by Menarini
• Saredutant - mixed but mostly negative Phase 3 trial results in 2009, and abandoned by Sanofi-Aventis
• GR-159897
• MEN-10376 - potent and selective antagonist, 7-amino acid polypeptide chain. CAS# 135306-85-3
