Background	Hemokinin 1 is a substance P-like tachykinin peptide predominantly expressed in non-neuronal tissues. Hemokinin-1 is a cleavage product of Tachykinin-4 and constitutes of 11 amino acids. It mediates chronic neuropathic mechanical and cold hyperalgesia. Hemokinin 1 is involved in the activation of neuropathic microglia and astrocyte activation in spinal cord. It is known to induce acute visceral and neurogenic inflammatory pain via NK1 receptor. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with Hemokinin 1 coupled to a carrier protein.
Synonyms	EK; endokinin; hemokinin; HK-1; MGC133009; MGC133010; PPT-C; Pptc; Preprotachykinin-C
