{"symbol":"TACR2","synonyms":["SKR","NKNAR","NK2R","TAC2R"],"name":"tachykinin receptor 2","description":"This gene belongs to a family of genes that function as receptors for tachykinins.  Receptor affinities are specified by variations in the 5\u0027-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.
