    GlossaryTachykinin

    family of neuropeptides involved in pain and inflammation

    Tachykinins are a family of neuropeptides that act as neurotransmitters and are involved in various physiological processes, including pain transmission, inflammation, and the regulation of smooth muscle contraction. They bind to specific receptors, such as the neurokinin receptors, to exert their effects. An example of a tachykinin is Substance P, which plays a key role in the body's response to stress and injury.
