Abstract
Neurokinin B, a peptide belonging to the tachykinin family, is undetectable in peripheral tissues from nonpregnant animals. In the present study, we analysed the expression of the preprotachykinin-B (PPT-B) gene, which encodes neurokinin B, in the rat uterus. Preprotachykinin-B mRNA was expressed in the uterus and its levels varied greatly depending upon the hormonal conditions. This is consistent with a role of this tachykinin in the regulation of uterine functions.
