There are three known mammalian tachykinin receptors termed NK1, NK2 and NK3. All are members of the 7 transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor family and induce the activation of phospholipase C, producing inositol triphosphate (so called Gq-coupled).
The genes and receptor ligands are as follows:[1]
Receptor | Gene | Preferred ligand |
NK1 | TACR1 | substance P |
NK2 | TACR2 | neurokinin A |
NK3 | TACR3 | neurokinin B |
