SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION
basic FUNCTION
  • may be implicated in regulation of B-cell development
  • cardiovascular activity
  • ligand activity of the NK1 receptor, may play an important role in mediating some of NK1 receptor physiological roles
  • may be involved in controlling blood flow during pregnancy
