Substance P

Substance P is an 11-amino acid neuropeptide from the tachykinin family that acts primarily through the neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor. It plays crucial roles in pain transmission, neurogenic inflammation, mood regulation, and immune cell activation. It is one of the most extensively studied neuropeptides in neuroscience and immunology.
