Disease relevance of Neurokinin beta

 

Psychiatry related information on Neurokinin beta

 

High impact information on Neurokinin beta

  • Here we have cloned a complementary DNA from human placental messenger RNA encoding a precursor protein of 121 amino acids which gives rise to a mature peptide identical to the neuropeptide neurokinin B (NKB) of other mammalian species [1].
  • Here we identify epitopes on the NK1 receptor responsible for the specific binding of CP 96345 by systematic exchange of corresponding segments between the NK1 receptor and the homologous NK3 (neurokinin B) receptor, which does not bind the non-peptide ligand [10].
  • Close intraarterial infusions of NKA, neurokinin B, SP, NPK, eledoisin, and physalaemin at doses of 0.1-100 pmol/min induced dose-dependent contractions of the proximal and distal colon (P less than 0.001) and vasodilatation (P less than 0.001), NKA being the most potent [11].
  • Tachykinin 4 gene expression was detected primarily in adrenal gland and in the placenta, where, like neurokinin B, significant amounts of EKB-like immunoreactivity were detected [12].
  • This cell line also bound [125I-MePhe7]neurokinin B; however, neurokinin B was an effective competitor [13].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Neurokinin beta

 

Biological context of Neurokinin beta

 

Anatomical context of Neurokinin beta

  • Interestingly, in contrast to neurokinin B, [Cys3,6]SP is a weak agonist of the neurokinin 2 receptor subtype, as evidenced by its binding potency in inhibiting 3H-labeled neurokinin A-specific binding on rat duodenum and in inducing the contractions of the rabbit pulmonary artery, a neurokinin 2-type bioassay [21].
  • Moreover, [Cys3,6]SP is as potent as neurokinin B in inhibiting 125I-labeled Bolton and Hunter eledoisin-specific binding on rat cortical synaptosomes as well as in stimulating rat portal vein, two tests specific for the neurokinin 3 receptor [21].
  • In addition, interactions between SP and other growth factors and neuropeptides including insulin, platelet factors, neurokinin A, neurokinin B, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) were studied on endothelial cell growth and compared [22].
  • The tachykinin NKB has antinociceptive effects in the spinal cord and is contained in intrinsic spinal neurons; thus, NKB may also contribute to the processing of sensory information [23].
  • Neurokinin-B transcription in erythroid cells: direct activation by the hematopoietic transcription factor GATA-1 [24].
 

Associations of Neurokinin beta with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Neurokinin beta

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Neurokinin beta

  • Because the antiserum K-12 recognizes various tachykinins, such as neurokinin A (100%), kassinin (103%), eledoisin (51%), neurokinin B (18%), physalaemin (0.7%), and substance P (0.7%), the immunoreactivity detected in this enzyme immunoassay has been termed TK-LI [32].
  • Using an antiserum raised against a 30-residue peptide fragment (Peptide 2) of the protein precursor to neurokinin B, we have mapped the distribution of Peptide 2 by immunocytochemistry [33].
  • These results have permitted the design of specific probes to differentiate between substance P and neurokinin B transcripts by using in situ hybridization histochemistry [34].
  • Further analysis by high pressure liquid chromatography revealed that increases in both neurokinin A and neurokinin B concentrations contributed to the increases in total neurokinin immunoreactivity 30 days after kainic acid [35].
  • Peptide 2 antiserum specificity was determined by western blot analysis (which showed antibody cross-reactivity to a neurokinin B fusion protein from a cloned neurokinin B-encoding complementary DNA) and by the elimination of immunoreactive product in brain tissue sections upon preabsorption with a 10 microM concentration of Peptide 2 peptide [33].
