Neurokinin A; Substance K; Neuromedin L; NKA CAS NO.86933-74-6

Neurokinin A (NKA), also known as Substance K or Neuromedin L, is an endogenous tachykinin decapeptide that serves as a key signaling molecule in neuroendocrine and inflammatory pathways. This research-grade synthetic peptide is supplied as a lyophilized powder with ≥95% HPLC purity, low endotoxin levels, and confirmed biological activity at neurokinin receptors. It is widely used as a standard agonist in receptor binding studies, functional assays, and pharmacological characterization of tachykinin signaling in respiratory, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular systems.

Solubility

Soluble in water, phosphate‑buffered saline (PBS), or dilute acetic acid (e.g., 0.1 % v/v). For best results, first dissolve in a small volume of 0.1 % acetic acid or sterile water to prepare a 0.1–1.0 mg/mL stock solution, then dilute with the desired assay buffer.

Endotoxin< 1.0 EU/mg
Biological Activity
Neurokinin A is an endogenous tachykinin peptide that acts as a high‑affinity agonist primarily at neurokinin‑2 receptors (NK₂R). It mediates smooth‑muscle contraction (especially in bronchial and gastrointestinal tracts), vasodilation, and neurogenic inflammation. Biological activity is typically confirmed in NK₂R‑expressing cell‑based assays (e.g., calcium mobilization, IP₃ accumulation) or isolated tissue contraction bioassays.
Storage Conditions
Lyophilized powder: Store desiccated at –20 °C or below, protected from light, for long‑term stability.
Reconstituted solution: Aliquot and store at ≤ –20 °C; avoid repeated freeze‑thaw cycles. For extended stability, store at –80 °C.

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

Neurokinin A acts primarily as a high-affinity agonist at neurokinin-2 receptors (NK₂R), binding to these G protein-coupled receptors to activate phospholipase C via Gq/11 coupling. This leads to increased production of inositol trisphosphate (IP₃) and diacylglycerol (DAG), resulting in calcium mobilization from intracellular stores. The subsequent signaling cascade mediates smooth muscle contraction in bronchial and gastrointestinal tissues, promotes neurogenic inflammation, and induces vasodilation. NKA also exhibits lower affinity for NK₁ and NK₃ receptors, contributing to its broad physiological effects in both central and peripheral nervous systems.


2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This Neurokinin A peptide is indicated exclusively for research use in preclinical studies of tachykinin receptor biology and neuroinflammatory pathways. It is employed as a standard agonist in receptor binding assays, calcium mobilization studies, and smooth muscle contraction bioassays to characterize NK₂R function in respiratory, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular research. The product serves as a reference compound for screening NK₂R antagonists, studying neurogenic inflammation mechanisms, and investigating tachykinin signaling in disease models. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications in humans or animals.


3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

As a research reagent, Neurokinin A has no established clinical efficacy for therapeutic use in human patients. The product has not undergone clinical development, regulatory approval, or safety evaluation for any medical indication. While endogenous NKA plays important roles in asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory pain pathways, this synthetic peptide is solely an investigational tool for basic and translational research. Its utility is confined to laboratory applications, with no proven clinical benefits or safety profile in humans.
