Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 In vertebrates, the tachykinin system includes tachykinin genes, which encode one or two peptides each, and tachykinin receptors. The complexity of this system is reinforced by the massive conservation of gene duplicates after the whole-genome ...

TAC3/TACR3 System Function in the Catadromous Migration Teleost, Anguilla japonica
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Neurokinin B (NKB), a member of the tachykinin (TAC) family, plays important roles in mammalian neuropeptide secretion in related to reproduction. However, its potential role in spawning migration teleost is less clear. In the present study, Japanese eel

Molecular Segmentation of the Spinal Trigeminal Nucleus in the Adult Mouse Brain
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021 The trigeminal column is a hindbrain structure formed by second order sensory neurons that receive afferences from trigeminal primary (ganglionic) nerve fibers.

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.

Overexpression of Substance P in pig airways increases MUC5AC through an NF‐kβ pathway
Physiological Reports, 2021 Substance P (SP) is a tachykinin that regulates airway mucous secretion in both health and disease. Our study aimed to determine whether overexpression of SP without pre‐existing inflammation was sufficient to induce changes in mucin secretion and ...

Tachykinins stimulate a subset of mouse taste cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The tachykinins substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA) are present in nociceptive sensory fibers expressing transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 (TRPV1).

Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2018 Background & Aims: Tachykinins are involved in physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract. The major sources of tachykinins in the gut are intrinsic enteric neurons in the enteric nervous system and extrinsic nerve ...

Ovarian steroids regulate tachykinin and tachykinin receptor gene expression in the mouse uterus
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2009 Background In the mouse uterus, pregnancy is accompanied by changes in tachykinin and tachykinin receptor gene expression and in the uterotonic effects of endogenous tachykinins. In this study we have investigated whether changes in tachykinin expression

Induction of tachykinin production in airway epithelia in response to viral infection.
PLoS ONE, 2008 BackgroundThe tachykinins are implicated in neurogenic inflammation and the neuropeptide substance P in particular has been shown to be a proinflammatory mediator.
