体外研究(In Vitro)
Neurokinin A (substance K) is a peptide neurotransmitter of the tachykinin family with potential as a major mediator in human airway and gastrointestinal tissues. Neurokinin A acts via the NK-2 receptor believed to be localized on smooth muscle cells and pharmacologically coupled to a GTP-binding protein. Neurokinin A is a member of a family of peptide neurotransmitters known as tachykinins. These peptides are associated with the central and peripheral nervous systems and display a wide tissue distribution. Tachykinins share the COOH-terminal structure Phe-X-Gly-Leu-Met-NH. The best known members of this family are Substance P and Neurokinin A or Substance K.

3. Recommended solution:
Overall charge of peptide
Details
Negative (<0)
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first.
2. If water fails, add NH4OH (<50 μL).
3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, add DMSO (50-100 μL) to solubilize the peptide.
Positive (>0)
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first.
2. If water fails, try dissolving the peptide in a 10%-30% acetic acid solution.
3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO.
Zero (=0)
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in organic solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) first.
2. For very hydrophobic peptides, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO, and then dilute the solution with water to the desired concentration.
