ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a human preprotachykinin B (PPT-B) and polynucleotides which identify and encode PPT-B. The invention also provides expression vectors, host cells, agonists, antibodies and antagonists. The invention also provides methods for treating disorders associated with expression of PPT-B.
