Neurokinin-2 Receptors (Neurokinin 2 Receptor)

A class of cell surface receptors for tachykinins that prefers neurokinin A; (NKA, substance K, neurokinin alpha, neuromedin L), neuropeptide K; (NPK); or neuropeptide gamma over other tachykinins. Neurokinin-2 (NK-2) receptors have been cloned and are similar to other G-protein coupled receptors.

02/01/1996 - "In summary, spinal neurokinin-2 receptors are important in the generation of pain in the normal and inflamed joint."
11/01/2007 - "Neurokinin-2 receptor levels correlate with intensity, frequency, and duration of pain in chronic pancreatitis."
08/01/2022 - "Neurokinin 2 receptor (NK2R), a G protein-coupled receptor for neurokinin A (NKA), a tachykinin family member, regulates various physiological functions including pain response, relaxation of smooth muscle, dilation of blood vessels, and vascular permeability. "
05/01/2010 - "Blockade of NK(1) and NK(2) receptors attenuated the formalin-induced increases in mean arterial pressure and heart rate, adrenaline and ACTH concentrations in plasma, and completely abolished the pain-induced c-Fos expression in corticotrophin-releasing hormone neurones localised in the parvocellular division of the PVN. "
01/01/2000 - "Our results show that (i) the modified formalin test elicited an intense grooming behaviour and expression of c-Fos in numerous forebrain and brainstem areas, (ii) both tachykinin receptor antagonists were able to attenuate the behavioural response to pain and to reduce the formalin-induced c-Fos expression in some, but not all, brain areas, and (iii) the neurokinin-1 antagonist, RP 67580, was more effective in inhibiting the behavioural response to formalin and the pain-induced activation of c-Fos than the antagonist for neurokinin-2 receptors, SR 48968, indicating that neurokinin-1 receptors are preferentially activated in neurokinin-containing pathways responding to noxious stimuli.
