Neurokinin A

A mammalian neuropeptide of 10 amino acids that belongs to the tachykinin family. It is similar in structure and action to SUBSTANCE P and NEUROKININ B with the ability to excite neurons, dilate blood vessels, and contract smooth muscles, such as those in the BRONCHI.

Also Known As:

Neurokinin alpha; Neuromedin L; Substance K; Kassinin, 1-de-L-aspartic acid- 2- de- L- valine- 3- L- histidine- 5- L- threonine- 7- L- serine-
