Entry term(s) neurocinina A
sustancia K
Scope note: Neuropéptido de los mamiferos de 10 aminoácidos, perteneciente a la familia de la taquiquinina. Es similar en estructura y acción a la SUSTANCIA P y a la NEUROQUININA B, con capacidad de excitación neuronal, dilatación de los vasos sanguíneos y contracción de la musculatura lisa, como la de los BRONQUIOS.
