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

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 existence of multiple mammalian tachykinins is now well established (for recent reviews
see 1-4). In addition to substance P (SP), mammalian tachykinins include neurokinin A …

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 …

Mammalian tachykinins are traditionally viewed as neuropeptides. This review describes the
mammalian tachykinins and evidence for expression of these peptides by non-neuronal …

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 …

The tachykinin peptides comprise a family of structurally related peptides that were originally
discovered on the basis of their atropine resistant, rapid stimulation of smooth muscle …

The tachykinins, exemplified by substance P, are one of the most intensively studied
neuropeptide families. They comprise a series of structurally related peptides that derive …
