Substance P TFA

Substance P TFA (Neurokinin P TFA) is a neuropeptide, acting as a neurotransmitter and as a neuromodulator in the CNS. The endogenous receptor for substance P is neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-receptor, NK1R)[1].

ChEBI: Substance P is a neuropeptide consisting of 11-amino acids. It preferentially activates neurokinin-1 receptors, exterting excitatory effects on central and peripheral neurons and involved in pain transmission. It has a role as a neurotransmitter, a vasodilator agent and a neurokinin-1 receptor agonist. It is a conjugate base of a substance P(3+).
