| Post Translational Modifications | Substance P: The substance P form is cleaved at Pro-59 by the prolyl endopeptidase FAP (seprase) activity (in vitro). Substance P is also cleaved and degraded by Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and neprilysin (MME). |
| Function | Tachykinins are active peptides which excite neurons, evoke behavioral responses, are potent vasodilators and secretagogues, and contract (directly or indirectly) many smooth muscles. |
