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.
