Tachykinins: Neuropeptides That Are Ancient, Diverse, Widespread and Functionally Pleiotropic
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Tachykinins (TKs) are ancient neuropeptides present throughout the bilaterians and are, with some exceptions, characterized by a conserved FX1GX2Ramide carboxy terminus among protostomes and FXGLMamide in deuterostomes.

Neurokinin receptors in the gastrointestinal muscle wall: cell distribution and possible roles
Biomolecular Concepts, 2013 The neurokinin receptors are G-protein-linked receptors; three distinct molecules, called neurokinin-1, neurokinin-2, and neurokinin-3 receptors, have been identified.

Plasma substance P and soluble P-selectin as biomarkers of β-thalassemia induced hypercoagulability
Alexandria Journal of Medicine, 2014 Background: Hypercoagulability in thalassemia especially in thalassemia major has emerged as a complication of the disease. There is evidence of increased platelet aggregation and increased proportion of platelets expressing P-selectin in thalassemia.

, 2000 The sensory neuropeptides substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA) are localized to sensory airway nerves, from which they can be released by a variety of stimuli, including allergen, ozone, or inflammatory mediators.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The neurokinin 1 receptor exists as full‐length (NK1L) and C‐terminally truncated (NK1S) splice variants. We show that NK1S heterodimerizes with NK1L, impairing Gαq coupling and Ca2+ mobilization while enhancing β‐arrestin1 recruitment. NK1S suppresses substance P‐driven gene expression and cell migration, revealing NK1S as an endogenous biased ...

Actions of Tachykinins Within the Heart and Their Relevance to Cardiovascular Disease
, 2000 Substance P and neurokinin A are tachykinins that are co-localized with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in a unique subpopulation of cardiac afferent nerve fibers.

One‐Pot Fabrication of Pentapeptide Bio‐Aerogel via Direct Alcogelation
Small, EarlyView.A minimal tachykinin‐inspired pentapeptide (TC‐1) self‐assembles in water and ethanol to form robust gels that can be dried in one pot to ultra‐porous aerogels using supercritical carbon dioxide. Solvent choice programs nanoscale packing and bulk mechanics producing lightweight monoliths with high porosity for biomaterials applications, verified by ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 Tachykinins (TKs) are a group of conserved neuropeptides. In insects, tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs) are important modulators of several functions such as nociception and lipid metabolism.

Tachykinins and bombesin excite non-pyramidal neurones in rat hippocampus
, 1986 The effects of substance P, eledoisin and physalaemin--which are structurally similar and all belong to the tachykinin family--and of bombesin, a gastrin-releasing peptide, on non-pyramidal neurones were studied using unitary extracellular recordings ...

Brain neuropeptides in central ventilatory and cardiovascular regulation in trout.
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012 Many neuropeptides and their G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are present within the brain area involved in ventilatory and cardiovascular regulation but only a few mammalian studies have focused on the integrative physiological actions of ...
