Prokineticin is a secreted protein that potently contracts gastrointestinal smooth muscle.[1]
Recently, prokineticins have been recognized in humans and other vertebrates.[2] They are thought to be involved in several important physiological processes like neurogenesis, tissue development, angiogenesis, and nociception.[2][3] Other important physiological roles the Bv8/Prokineticins (PKs) are involved in may include cancer, reproduction, and regulating physiological functions that influence circadian rhythms like hormone secretion, ingestive behaviors, and the sleep/wake cycle.[4]
Mutations in the PROK2 (also known as KAL4) gene have been implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and gynecomastia.[5]
