Activity

  • Function:  Tachykinins are active peptides which excite neurons, evoke behavioral responses, are potent vasodilators and secretagogues, and contract (directly or indirectly) many smooth muscles. Hemokinin induces plasma extravasation, mast cell degranulation, muscle contraction, salivary secretion and scratching behavior. Increases sperm motility. Induces potent analgesic effects and may play a role in pain modulation. Promotes survival of bone marrow B lineage cells and of cultured LPS-stimulated pre-B cells and may act as an autocrine factor required for B-cell survival and proliferation. Lowers systemic arterial pressure following intravenous injection. Induces interferon-gamma production and may play a role in the inflammatory response. Shows potent affinity and specificity for the NK-1 receptor.
