Disease relevance of ELEDOISIN

  • Vagotomy did not change this reaction, whereas pretreatment with the ganglion blocker hexamethonium slightly enhanced the bronchoconstrictor action of E and SP [1].
 

High impact information on ELEDOISIN

 

Biological context of ELEDOISIN

 

Anatomical context of ELEDOISIN

  • It is concluded that SP and E cause contraction of detrusor by a direct effect on the smooth muscle cells, and that this response is dependent on the extracellular calcium concentration [6].
  • 1. Circumoesophageal ganglia and foot muscle of the garden snail, Helix aspersa, were subjected to immunocytochemistry using antisera to the tachykinins, substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA), kassinin (KAS) and eledoisin (ELE) [7].
 

Associations of ELEDOISIN with other chemical compounds

  • In the GPGB, the relative potencies were SK greater than KA greater than EL much greater than PH greater than SP, which is similar to that reported for the NK-2 receptor in radioligand binding assays [8].
  • In fact, on lamb and sheep bladder neurokinin A (NKA), a NK2- almost selective peptide, was shown to be > 100% more active than the natural tachykinins kassinin (KASS) and eledoisin (ELED) [9].
  • Both atropine and the 5-hydroxytryptamine antagonist methysergide largely reduced the bronchoconstriction induced by E and SP [1].
