NK-1R (K245) polyclonal antibody

The neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor characterized by seven transmembrane helices which preferentially binds the neuropeptide substance P. NK1 receptor (also known as the Substance P Receptor) plays a key role in pain and inflammation. Studies also implicate NK1 receptor in depression and the growth of brain tumors. The NK1 receptor has been reported primarily in brain, and in blood lymphocytes, nose, small intestine, and stomach.
