| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | Belongs to the tachykinin family. |
| Tissue Specificity | Strong expression is seen in a group of 14 cells plus one isolated cell in the midgut of stage 17 embryos. Also expressed in a pair of medially located unidentified cells; just posterior to the brain; |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| Function | Tachykinins are active peptides which excite neurons; evoke behavioral responses; are potent vasodilators and secretagogues; and contract (directly or indirectly) many smooth muscles. Stimulates gut muscle contractions |
