The tachykinins substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B are involved in many
pathophysiological processes. A reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) …

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 …

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

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 tachykinins substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B are implicated in different
diseases and play an important role in neuroimmunomodulation. These peptides interact …

After its discovery in 1931, substance P (SP) remained the only mammalian member of the
family of tachykinin peptides for several decades. Tachykinins thus refer to peptides sharing …

Tachykinins are widely distributed in the peripheral nervous system of the respiratory,
urinary and gastrointestinal tract, stored in enteric neurons and in peripheral nerve endings …

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 …

In addition to the classical neurotransmitters, acetylcholine and noradrenaline, a wide
number of peptides with neurotransmitter activity have been identified in the past few years …
