Molecular Modeling of Neurokinin B and Neurokinin-3 Receptor Complex [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2011 The Neurokinin-3 (NK-3) receptor is a member of the Rhodopsin family of G-protein coupled receptors. NK-3 receptor has been regarded as an important drug target due to diverse physiological functions and its possible role in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia.

Molecules, 2021 Opioid agonists are well-established analgesics, widely prescribed for acute but also chronic pain. However, their efficiency comes with the price of drastically impacting side effects that are inherently linked to their prolonged use.

Opioidergic pathways and kisspeptin in the regulation of female reproduction in mammals
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Endogenous opioid peptides have attracted attention as critical neuropeptides in the central mechanism regulating female reproduction ever since the discovery that arcuate dynorphin neurons that coexpress kisspeptin and neurokinin B (NKB), which are also

Mechanism of kisspeptin neuron synchronization for pulsatile hormone secretion in male mice
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: The mechanism by which arcuate nucleus kisspeptin (ARNKISS) neurons co-expressing glutamate, neurokinin B, and dynorphin intermittently synchronize their activity to generate pulsatile hormone secretion remains unknown.

Neurokinin B administration induces hot flushes in women. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 AbstractNeurokinin B (NKB) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide binding preferentially to the neurokinin 3 receptor. Expression of the gene encoding NKB is elevated in postmenopausal women. Furthermore, rodent studies suggest that NKB signalling may mediate menopausal hot flushes.

Tachykinin neuropeptides in cerebellar granule neurons: an immunocytochemical study
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009 We previously demonstrated that exogenously administered neurokinin A and neurokinin B, but not substance P, increased the sensitivity of cultured cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) to glutamate.

Possible causes and treatment strategies for the estrus and ovulation disorders in dairy cows
The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2022 The reproductive performance of dairy cows has declined, along with an increase in their milk yield. First-service conception rates in lactating dairy cows are often lower than 50%.

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2011 Background Neurogenic inflammation is orchestrated by a large number of neuropeptides. Tachykinins (substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B) are pro-inflammatory neuropeptides that may play an important role in some autoimmune neuroinflammatory ...

Neuropeptide modulation of lymphatic smooth muscle tone in the canine forelimb
Mediators of Inflammation, 1992 Neurokinin A and B are putative inflammatory mediators. We assessed their ability to alter prenodal lymphatic resistance. Intralymphatic neurokinin A (3.0 × 10−6, 3.0 × 10−5 and 3.0 × 10−4 mol l−1) significantly constricted lymphatics at the two highest ...
