Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Tachykinins are active peptides which excite neurons, evoke behavioral responses, are potent vasodilators and secretagogues, and contract (directly or indirectly) many smooth muscles.FUNCTION Is a ligand for TACR1, and triggers G protein-coupled receptor signaling via activation of phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis by phospholipase C. Substance P binding to TACR1 also triggers signaling via activation of adenylate cyclase activity which results in increased intracellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) (By similarity). Is also a TACR3 agonist with low receptor affinity (PubMed:37391393). Basic secretagogue neuropeptide released from the terminals of specific sensory nerves (PubMed:30686732). Acts as a ligand for MRGPRX2 receptor in mast cells, initiating a signaling that mediates neurogenic inflammation and pain (PubMed:30686732, PubMed:34789875). Neurogenic inflammation includes mast cell activation, recruitment of immune cells and release of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and chemokines (By similarity). The inflammatory response can then activate or sensitize nociceptors, promoting pain (By similarity).FUNCTION Is a ligand for TACR2, and triggers G protein-coupled receptor signaling via activation of G(q) and phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis by phospholipase C (PubMed:35882833). Binding to TACR2 also triggers signaling via activation of adenylate cyclase activity which results in increased intracellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP).INTERACTION The substance P form is cleaved at Pro-59 by the prolyl endopeptidase FAP (seprase) activity (in vitro) (PubMed:21314817). Substance P is also cleaved and degraded by Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and neprilysin (MME) (PubMed:6208535).SIMILARITY Belongs to the tachykinin family.ONLINE INFORMATION Neurokinin-1 entry
