Description

Hemokinin 1 (Human) is a synthetic neuropeptide analog of the tachykinin family, specifically the human form of Hemokinin-1. This bioactive peptide is of significant interest in advanced life science research and pharmaceutical development due to its role as a selective agonist for the neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor. It serves as a critical tool for researchers in neuroscience, immunology, and pharmacology, enabling the study of inflammatory processes, pain signaling, and potential therapeutic pathways.

Application

• Biomedical Research: Used as a selective NK1 receptor agonist to study neurogenic inflammation, pain transmission, and the role of tachykinins in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
• Drug Discovery & Development: Serves as a reference standard and pharmacological tool in high-throughput screening (HTS) assays for identifying novel NK1 receptor antagonists.
• Immunology Studies: Investigated for its modulatory effects on immune cell function and cytokine release, relevant to autoimmune and inflammatory disease research.
• In Vitro & Ex Vivo Models: Applied in cell-based assays and tissue bath experiments to elucidate receptor binding, signal transduction, and downstream physiological effects.
• Academic Research: A key reagent for universities and research institutes focusing on peptide biology, receptor pharmacology, and neuro-immune interactions.
• Biopharmaceutical Production: Potential use as a process development or quality control standard for companies developing peptide-based therapeutics targeting the tachykinin pathway.
