Biotin-Substance P is the biotin tagged Substance P. Substance P (Neurokinin P) is a neuropeptide, acting as a neurotransmitter and as a neuromodulator in the CNS. The endogenous receptor for substance P is neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-receptor, NK1R)[1].
The neuropeptide substance P (SP) that are mediated by the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-R) desensitize and resensitize, which may be associated with NK1-R endocytosis and recycling. SP and the NK1-R are internalized into the same clathrin immunoreactive vesicles, and then sorted into different compartments. SP is intact at the cell surface and in early endosomes, but slowly degraded in perinuclear vesicles. SP induces clathrin-dependent internalization of the NK1-R. The SP/NK1-R complex dissociates in acidified endosomes. SP is degraded, whereas the NK1-R recycles to the cell surface. SP induces internalization of the NK1-R both in transfected epithelial cells[1].
