• Sinónimos: H-Gln-Gln-Phe-Phe-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2 H-QQFFGLM-NH2
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descrição: Substance P is a bifunctional neuropeptide that acts as both a neurotransmitter and a neurohormone. The amino acid sequence of Substance P is H-Gln-Gln-Phe-Phe-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2. It is found in the brain and spinal cord, but also in other tissues such as the parotid gland and stomach. This peptide is released from nerve cells when they are stimulated by pain or anxiety, and it causes contraction of smooth muscles in the lungs, uterus, and gastrointestinal tract. Animal studies have shown that Substance P can be toxic to neonatal animals, leading to hypothyroidism and death. In vitro studies have shown that this peptide can induce the growth of glioma cells and tumors.
