Summary

Substance P (SP) is an 11-amino acid neuropeptide belonging to the tachykinin family, acting as a primary neurotransmitter and neuromodulator in both the central and peripheral nervous systems 1. The neuropeptide exerts its effects primarily through the NK1 receptor (NK1R), a G protein-coupled recep
