Activity

  • Function:  Potent agonist for both PKR1/PROKR1 and PKR2/PROKR2, and inducer of a potent and long-lasting hyperalgesia. Also potentiates capsaicin-induced TRPV1 current, when tested on DRG neurons. At subnanomolar concentrations, this protein both induces potent chemotaxis of macrophages and stimulates LPS-induced production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1 and IL-12. In vivo, potently stimulates the contraction of the guinea-pig gastrointestinal (GI) smooth muscle (nanomolar concentration).
