Substance P is a neuropeptide that functions as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. It is involved in various physiological processes, including pain transmission, inflammation, and emotional regulation. This peptide is widely used in research to study its role in the nervous system and immune response.
Substance P is known for its role in transmitting pain signals from peripheral nerves to the central nervous system. It binds to neurokinin receptors, particularly NK1, to exert its effects.
Proper storage and handling are essential to maintain the stability and activity of Substance P. It should be stored lyophilized at -20°C or below and reconstituted according to recommended protocols.
