A family of peptides that shares a common C-terminal sequence (Phe-X-Gly-Leu-MetNH 2)
exists in mammalian and non-mammalian species. In mammals, three of these peptides …

Throughout the past decade, major advances have been made in our understanding of the
biology of the mammalian tachykinin neuropeptides. It is now well established that …

Tachykinins are a family of peptides that share the common C-terminal sequence, Phe-X-Gly-
Leu-Met-NH,. In mammals, at least three different tachykinins, namely, substance P (SP) …

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 …

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 …

Three members of the tachykinin peptide family have an established role as
neurotransmitters in mammals: substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA), and neurokinin B …

The mammalian tachykinins (substance P, neurokinin A, and neurokinin B) are widely
distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, where they act as …

The undecapeptide substance P (SP) and other tachykinins such as neurokinin A
(substance K) and neurokinin B (NKB) represent a family of peptide neurotransmitters and/or …

The tachykinins, substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B, are a family of neuropeptides
widely distributed in the mammalian central and peripheral nervous system. In the …
