GtoPdb Ligand ID: 1868

Abbreviated name: PK2β
Comment: Prokineticin-2β is 21 amino acids shorter than the parent peptide. This shorter variant is believed to arise as the result of post-translational protein cleavage events. Prokineticin-2β has been identified in human, rat and mouse [1].
Species: Human
