• Background: The Prokineticins (PK1 and PK2) are a pair of cysteine-rich secreted peptides with broad physiological functions including gastrointestinal motility, angiogenesis, hematopoiesis and circadian rhythms regulation. The biological effects of the PK1 and PK2 are mediated by two highly homologous receptors termed Prokineticin Receptor 1 (PKR1) and Prokineticin Receptor 2 (PKR2) that belong to the 7-transmembrane domain, G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. Both PK ligands activate the two PK receptors with similar potency. PKR1 receptors couple to Gq/G11 proteins leading to phospholipase C activation, inositol phosphate production and calcium mobilization. In addition, activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways has also been described. PKR1 is broadly distributed throughout peripheral tissues including the intestinal tract, testis, uterus, lung and peripheral blood leukocytes. In addition, the receptor is expressed in the brain particularly in olfactory regions as well as in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. The physiological function of PKR1 is still being elucidated, however, evidence suggest that the receptor has an important role in pain perception through its ability to stimulate the TRPV1 ion channel in DRG neurons. In addition, a role for PKR1 in the control of the inflammatory response through regulation of macrophage chemotaxis and cytokine production has also been demonstrated.3
