What is Neurokinin A?
A tachykinin neuropeptide generated from the preprotachykinin A precursor. It participates in pain transmission, neurogenic inflammation, and smooth muscle signaling.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
pain signaling
neurogenic inflammation
smooth muscle contraction
Research Summary
Well documented in tachykinin biology and receptor pharmacology, especially NK2 receptor signaling in the nervous and respiratory systems.
Related Peptides
OXT
Oxytocin
A hypothalamic nonapeptide neuropeptide and hormone best known for roles in parturition, lactation, and social behavior. It is also used as a reference compound in receptor and intranasal-delivery research.
NeuropeptidesSP
Substance P
A tachykinin neuropeptide involved in nociception, inflammation, and gastrointestinal signaling. It is widely used in receptor pharmacology and pain-pathway research.
NeuropeptidesLEU-ENK
Leucine Enkephalin
An endogenous pentapeptide from the proenkephalin family that acts on opioid receptors. It is a classic opioid neuropeptide used in analgesia and receptor-binding studies.
NeuropeptidesMET-ENK
Methionine Enkephalin
An endogenous pentapeptide closely related to leucine enkephalin and derived from proenkephalin. It is studied for opioid receptor activity, pain modulation, and neuroimmune signaling.
