The mammalian tachykinin peptides include neurokinin A (NKA), neurokinin B (NKB) and substance P (SP) [ 1 ] . It is known that these three neuropeptides have a common C-terminal amino acid sequence and that NKA and SP are derived from the preprotachykinin A gene, whereas NKB is derived from the preprotachykinin B gene.
[ 12 ] revealed a more widespread distribution of neurons encoding SP and NKA preprotachykinin mRNA in the rat brainstem than the distribution of NK-ir cell bodies observed in the human brainstem.
Several studies have shown the distribution of NKA (preprotachykinin A mRNA) [ 12 ] and NKB (peptide-2; preprotachykinin B mRNA) [ 14 16 17 20 ] in the CNS of the rat.
