What Neurokinin A / Substance K is studied for

  • GPCR receptor-binding and functional profiling
  • Behavioral pharmacology (rodent models)
  • Pain, mood, and anxiety-circuit research
  • Neuroendocrine feedback studies

Mechanism of action

Neurokinin A / Substance K sits within the Neuropeptides research class (CPC reference NEUP-001). Neuropeptides bind GPCRs expressed on central and peripheral neurons — modulating cAMP, calcium, and β-arrestin signaling to shape neurotransmission, network excitability, and behavior. Investigators typically incorporate Neurokinin A / Substance K as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Radioligand binding, cAMP HTRF, calcium mobilization, and in vivo behavior assays.

Frequently asked questions

What is Neurokinin A / Substance K?

Neurokinin A / Substance K (CPC catalog code NEUP-001) is a synthetic neuropeptide receptor ligand in the neuropeptides category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

What is Neurokinin A / Substance K studied for?

Published and internal research programs use Neurokinin A / Substance K as a reference standard in neuropeptides workflows — for example, gpcr receptor-binding and functional profiling and behavioral pharmacology (rodent models). Human clinical evidence is not established.

Is Neurokinin A / Substance K FDA-approved for human use?

No. Neurokinin A / Substance K is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.

How is Neurokinin A / Substance K typically used in the lab?

In a neuropeptides workflow, Neurokinin A / Substance K is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Radioligand binding, cAMP HTRF, calcium mobilization, and in vivo behavior assays.

How should Neurokinin A / Substance K be stored?

Store lyophilized at −20 °C. Reconstitute in sterile 0.1% BSA/PBS to reduce adsorption. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.

Where does the Neurokinin A / Substance K product page point to?

This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for NEUP-001. The upstream reference sheet — including sequence, purity, MW, and application notes where published — is linked from the buy panel. All orders placed on kindr Peptides ship internationally under research-use terms only.

What quality specifications apply to Neurokinin A / Substance K?

Research-grade peptides in the CPC catalog are synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), purified by preparative RP-HPLC, and characterized by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometry. Typical purity is ≥95%; certificate of analysis is available on request.
