Biological Activity
Tachykinin precursor 1 (TAC1) plays a key role in hematopoiesis, gastrointestinal secretory processes, calcium signaling, pain, respiratory patterns, and neuropeptide signaling. It also participates in insemination, synaptic transmission, autism, inflammatory response, and pulmonary infection. It appears to be a critical gene in normal respiratory development, exhibiting plasticity throughout the process. TAC1 is involved in the functioning of macrophages and monocytes. TAC1 is associated with narcolepsy. It may be considered a predictive factor in breast cancer.
