Tachykinins (TKs) and their receptors have been shown to be expressed in the mammalian ovary. However, the biological roles for ovarian TKs have yet to be verified. Ci-TK and Ci-TK-R, characterized from the protochordate (ascidian), Ciona intestinalis, are prototypes of vertebrate TKs and their rece...
