Members of the tachykinin peptide family have been well conserved during evolution and
are mainly expressed in the central nervous system and in the intestine of both vertebrates …

Tachykinins are multifunctional neuropeptides that have been identified in vertebrates as
well as invertebrates. The C-terminal FXGXRa-motif constitutes the consensus active core …

Tachykinins (TKs) constitute the largest vertebrate neuropeptide family with multifunctions in
central and peripheral tissues. In several invertebrate species, two types of structurally …

Neuropeptides related to vertebrate tachykinins have been identified in Drosophila and are
referred to as drosotachykinins, or DTKs. Two Drosophila G protein-coupled receptors …

Tachykinins (TKs) and their structurally related peptides constitute the largest peptide
superfamily in the animal kingdom. TKs have been shown to play various physiological roles …

Peptides structurally related to mammalian tachykinins have recently been isolated from the
brain and intestine of several insect species, where they are believed to function as both …

Structurally tachykinin‐related peptides have been isolated from various invertebrate
species and shown to exhibit their biological activities through a G‐protein‐coupled receptor …

Tachykinins constitute a neuropeptide family that mediate their actions via a subfamily of
structurally related G-protein-coupled receptors. Two receptors, Drosophila neurokinin …

Tachykinins (TKs) are ancient neuropeptides present throughout the bilaterians and are,
with some exceptions, characterized by a conserved FX 1 GX 2 Ramide carboxy terminus …

Neuropeptides related to vertebrate tachykinins have been identified in Drosophila. Two
Drosophila G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs), designated NKD (CG6515) and DTKR …
