Target Information

Prokineticin-2 (PK2) is a cysteine-rich secreted protein that is expressed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) with receptors located in the critical autonomic control centers of the brain. It has a depolarizing effect on neurons expressing the receptor. PK2 is predominantly controlled by the endogenous circadian clock, but light also plays a modulatory role. PK2 functions as a critical SCN output molecule responsible for circadian locomotor rhythms. PK2 expression is high during the day, and responsive to nocturnal light pulses. PK2 also functions as a chemoattractant for subventricular zone-derived neuronal progenitors.
