Data Sheet
Background: Three membrane receptors that recognize these tachykinins have been described, termed TACR1, TACR2, and TACR3 (or NK3). Their endogenous ligands are substance P, neurokinin A, and neurokinin B, respectively. Interest in the tachykinins and their respective receptors has been stimulated by their potential role in bronchial asthma.
Application: Functional assays
