Neurokinin A

Neurokinin A is a tachykinin neuropeptide encoded by TAC1 and preferentially activates the NK2 receptor. It is studied in smooth-muscle contraction, airway physiology, nociception and neurogenic inflammation.

• neuropeptide receptor pharmacology
• GPCR signaling
• neuroendocrine and smooth-muscle studies
• structure-activity research

Terminal pyroglutamate, amidation and exact residue boundaries are part of the reagent identity and should be retained when comparing tachykinin or bombesin-family activity.
