Prokineticin 2 potentiates acid-sensing ion channel activity in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Prokineticin 2 (PK2) is a secreted protein and causes potent hyperalgesia in vivo, and is therefore considered to be a new pronociceptive mediator. However, the molecular targets responsible for the pronociceptive effects of PK2 are...
