We report four human tachykinins, endokinins A, B, C, and D (EKA–D), encoded from a
single tachykinin precursor 4 gene that generates four mRNAs (α, β, γ, and δ). Tachykinin 4 …

The tachykinin family has recently been extended by the discovery of a third tachykinin gene
encoding previously unknown mammalian tachykinins (hemokinin 1, endokinin A and …

The endokinins represent several species-divergent and peripherally located mammalian
tachykinins (hemokinin-1 in mouse and rat, endokinin-1 in rabbit and endokinins A and B in …

The peptides of the tachykinin family are widely distributed within the mammalian peripheral
and central nervous systems and play a well-recognized role as excitatory …

There is an expanding repertoire of mammalian tachykinins produced by a variety of
tachykinin genes, gene splicing events and peptide processing. Novel tachykinin-binding …

Recently, the cloning of a novel preprotachykinin gene (PPT-C) has been reported. This
gene codes for a novel peptide named hemokinin 1 (HK-1). In contrast with the known …

Tachykinins belong to an evolutionarily conserved family of peptide neurotransmitters. The
mammalian tachykinins include substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B, which exert …

Tachykinins as substance P and neurokinin A belong to a family of peptides, which are
released from airway nerves after noxious stimulation. They influence numerous respiratory …

The tachykinin family of vasoactive peptides comprises the neuropeptides substance P,
neurokinin A and neurokinin B, and the newly discovered endokinins and hemokinins. Their …
