Tachykinins and tachykinin receptors in human uterus [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 2003 Studies were undertaken to determine the nature of the receptors mediating contractile effects of tachykinins in the uteri of nonpregnant women, and to analyse the expression of preprotachykinins (PPT), tachykinin receptors and the cell‐surface peptidase, neprilysin (NEP), in the myometrium from pregnant and nonpregnant women.

Expression and function of human hemokinin-1 in human and guinea pig airways
Respiratory Research, 2010 Background Human hemokinin-1 (hHK-1) and endokinins are peptides of the tachykinin family encoded by the TAC4 gene. TAC4 and hHK-1 expression as well as effects of hHK-1 in the lung and airways remain however unknown and were explored in this study ...

Characterisation, localisation and expression of porcine TACR1, TACR2 and TACR3 genes
Veterinární Medicína, 2017 Substance P is involved in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. This functional diversity is mediated by three neurokinin receptor subtypes (NK1R, NK2R and NK3R) encoded by the TACR1, TACR2 and TACR3 genes, respectively.

Tachykinin receptors antagonism for asthma: a systematic review
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2011 Background Tachykinins substance P, neurokinin A and neurokinin B seem to account for asthma pathophysiology by mediating neurogenic inflammation and several aspects of lung mechanics.

Characterisation of cough evoked by inhaled treprostinil and treprostinil palmitil
ERJ Open Research, 2021 Cough is induced by inhaled prostacyclin analogues including treprostinil (TRE), and, at higher doses, treprostinil palmitil (TP), a prodrug of TRE. In this report, we have investigated mechanisms involved in TRE- and TP-induced cough, using a dry powder

Tachykinin Agonists Modulate Cholinergic Neurotransmission at Guinea-Pig Intracardiac Ganglia
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005 Effects of substance P (SP) and selective tachykinin agonists on neurotransmission at guinea-pig intracardiac ganglia were studied in vitro. Voltage responses of neurons to super-fused tachykinins and nerve stimulation were measured using intracellular ...
