Identification of multiple tachykinins in bovine adrenal medulla using an improved chromatographic procedure

Functional Studies with Substance P Analogues: Effects of N‐Terminal, C‐Terminal, and C‐Terminus‐Extended Analogues of Substance P on Nicotine‐Induced Secretion and Desensitization in Cultured Bovine Adrenal Chromaffin Cells

“…In a previous study (Cheung et al, 1993), the bovine adrenal medulla was shown to contain all known endogenous mammalian tachykinins (SP, NKA, Arg-Pro-Ly~-Pro-Gln-Gln-Phe-Phe-Gly-Leu-Met-NH~ ( Ala3)SP-NH2…”

Mechanism of Action of Tachykinins in the Frog Adrenal Glanda

“…These peptides are widely represented in the animal kingdom and exert multiple effects on the nervous and immune systems as well as on exocrine and endocrine glands. 1 Immunohistochemical and biochemical studies have revealed the occurrence of various members of the TK family in the adrenal gland of mammals 2 and amphibians. 3 Although TKs have been shown to stimulate steroid secretion from rat, 4 bovine, 5 and frog adrenal tissue, 3 the mechanism by which TKs exert their corticotropic effect remains poorly understood.…”
