Beschreibung

This product is a Substance P antagonist. Substance P is a neuropeptide that acts as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. It is best known for its role in nociception or pain perception. Substance P is also involved in other biological processes such as the regulation of gastrointestinal motility and the inflammatory response. As a tachykinin neuropeptide, substance P acts through binding to its specific neurokinin 1 receptor (NK-1R). NK-1R is present in neurons and on glial cell types. Substance P is also involved in: increased inflammation in the lungs, gastrointestinal tract and the skin and neuroinflammation. Interestingly the levels of Substance P are raised in inflammatory bowel diseases and through its involvement in cytokine release, it contributes to asthma pathology. These diverse selection of functions makes substance P a target for therapeutic research.
