Definitions

  • Tachykinins are a family of peptides which share a common amidated carboxy terminal sequence.
  • Substance P was the first peptide of this family to be isolated, although its purification and the determination of its primary sequence did not occur until the early 1970's.
  • neurokinin A also known as substance K, neuromedin L, and neurokinin ⁇
  • neurokinin B also known as neuromedin K and neurokinin ⁇
  • Tachykinins are widely distributed in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, are released from nerves, and exert a variety of biological actions, which, in most cases, depend upon activation of specific receptors expressed on the membrane of target cells. Tachykinins are also produced by a number of non-neural tissues.
  • NK-1 The mammalian tachykinins substance P, neurokinin A, and neurokinin B act through three major receptor subtypes, denoted as NK-1, NK-2, and NK-3, respectively. These receptors are present in a variety of organs.
  • Substance P is believed in er »! ⁇ « to be involved in the neurotxansmission of pain sensations, including the pain associated with migraine headaches and with arthritis.
  • These peptides have also been implicated in gastrointestinal disorders and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract such as inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Tachykinins have also been implicated as playing a role in numerous other maladies, as discussed infra.
  • Tachykinins play a major role in mediating the sensation and transmission of pain or nociception, especially migraine headaches. see. e.g.. S.L. Shepheard, et al..
