Prokineticins are potent angiogenic hormones that use 2 receptors, prokineticin receptor-1 (PKR1) and PKR2, with important therapeutic use in anticancer therapy. Observations of cardiac and renal toxicity in cancer patients treated with antiangiogenic compounds led us to explore how PKR1 signaling functioned in heart and kidney in vivo.
