There are three knownmammaliantachykinin receptors termed NK1, NK2 and NK3. All are members of the7 transmembraneG-protein coupled receptor family and induce the activation ofphospholipase C, producinginositol triphosphate (so called Gq-coupled).
Inhibitors of NK-1, known asNK-1 receptor antagonists, can be used asantiemetic agents, such as the drugaprepitant.[1]
The genes and receptor ligands are as follows:[2]
| Receptor | Gene | Preferred ligand |
|---|---|---|
| NK1 | TACR1 | substance P |
| NK2 | TACR2 | neurokinin A |
| NK3 | TACR3 | neurokinin B |
