Description
Mouse Neurokinin-B PharmaGenie ELISA - Kit Information
Neurokinin B is a peptide hormone belonging to the tachykinin family, which also includes Substance P and Neurokinin A. All the peptides from tachykinin families are derived from two preprotachykinin genes - the PPT-A gene and PPT-B gene. The former encodes Substance P. Neurokinin A & Neuropeptide K, and the latter encodes Neurokinin B. Neurokinin B has shown important roles in regulating immune and neurological functions in humans. It is found in higher concentration in women suffering from pre-eclampsia during pregnancy. It is reported to stimulate the production of immunoglobulins in peripheral B lymphocytes via its NK-3 receptor. Recently Neurokinin B, along with its NK-3 receptor, has shown to play a critical role as a key neuroregulatory switcher on human puberty, governed by the brain through the release of the hormone GnRH, which starts a series of processes that ultimately leads to the production of sex hormones. Neurokinin B has shown potential clinical application as a biomarker in pre-eclampsia during pregnancy and onset of puberty.
