'''Substance P''' (SP) is an [[undecapeptide]] (a peptide composed of a chain of 11 amino acid residues) member of the [[tachykinin]] neuropeptide family.

Amino acid residues that are responsible for the binding of SP and its [[Receptor antagonist|antagonists]] are present in the extracellular loops and transmembrane regions of NK-1. Binding of SP to NK-1 results in internalization by the [[clathrin]]-dependent mechanism to the acidified [[endosome]]s where the complex disassociates.

== Function ==
Substance P is an important element in pain perception. The sensory function of substance P is thought to be related to the transmission of pain information into the [[central nervous system]]. Substance P coexists with the [[excitatory neurotransmitter]] [[glutamate]] in primary afferents that respond to painful stimulation.<ref name="pmid9537323"/> Substance P has been associated with the regulation of [[mood disorders]], [[anxiety]], [[stress (medicine)|stress]],<ref name="pmid16820980">{{cite journal | vauthors = Ebner K, Singewald N | title = The role of substance P in stress and anxiety responses | journal = Amino Acids | volume = 31 | issue = 3 | pages = 251–72 | date = Oct 2006 | pmid = 16820980 | doi = 10.1007/s00726-006-0335-9 }}</ref> [[reinforcement]],<ref name="pmid7532865">{{cite journal | vauthors = Huston JP, Hasenöhrl RU, Boix F, Gerhardt P, Schwarting RK | title = Sequence-specific effects of neurokinin substance P on memory, reinforcement, and brain dopamine activity | journal = Psychopharmacology | volume = 112 | issue = 2-3 | pages = 147–62 | year = 1993 | pmid = 7532865 | doi = 10.1007/BF02244906 }}</ref> [[neurogenesis]],<ref name="pmid17886560">{{cite journal | vauthors = Park SW, Yan YP, Satriotomo I, Vemuganti R, Dempsey RJ | title = Substance P is a promoter of adult neural progenitor cell proliferation under normal and ischemic conditions | journal = Journal of Neurosurgery | volume = 107 | issue = 3 | pages = 593–9 | date = Sep 2007 | pmid = 17886560 | doi = 10.3171/JNS-07/09/0593 }}</ref> respiratory rhythm,<ref name="pmid8606995">{{cite journal | vauthors = Bonham AC | title = Neurotransmitters in the CNS control of breathing | journal = Respiration Physiology | volume = 101 | issue = 3 | pages = 219–30 | date = Sep 1995 | pmid = 8606995 | doi = 10.1016/0034-5687(95)00045-F }}</ref> [[neurotoxicity]], [[nausea]]/[[emesis]],<ref name="pmid11497388">{{cite journal | vauthors = Hesketh PJ | title = Potential role of the NK1 receptor antagonists in chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting | journal = Supportive Care in Cancer | volume = 9 | issue = 5 | pages = 350–4 | date = Jul 2001 | pmid = 11497388 | doi = 10.1007/s005200000199 }}</ref> [[pain]] and [[nociception]].<ref name="pmid11137976">{{cite journal | vauthors = Zubrzycka M, Janecka A | title = Substance P: transmitter of nociception (Minireview) | journal = Endocrine Regulations | volume = 34 | issue = 4 | pages = 195–201 | date = Dec 2000 | pmid = 11137976 | doi =  }}</ref> Substance P and other sensory neuropeptides can be released from the peripheral terminals of sensory nerve fibers in the skin, muscle and joints.

Substance P receptor antagonists may have important therapeutic applications in the treatment of a variety of stress-related illnesses, in addition to their potential as analgesics.
 
===Vomiting===
The [[vomiting]] center in the [[Medulla oblongata|medulla]] contains high concentrations of substance P and its receptor, in addition to other neurotransmitters such as [[choline]], [[histamine]], [[dopamine]], [[serotonin]], and [[opioid]]s. Their activation stimulates the vomiting reflex.

===Pain===
Substance P is involved in [[nociception]], transmitting information about tissue damage from peripheral receptors to the [[central nervous system]] to be converted to the sensation of [[pain]]. It has been theorized that it plays a part in [[fibromyalgia]]. [[Capsaicin]] has been shown to reduce the levels of substance P, it is presumed, by reducing the number of [[C-fibre]] nerves or causing these nerves to be more tolerant. Thus, capsaicin is clinically used as an analgesic and an [[anti-inflammatory]] agent to reduce pain associated with arthritis and many types of neuralgia.  A role of  substance P and NKA in nociception is suggested by the reduction in response thresholds to noxious stimuli by central administration of K2 and K3 [[agonists]]. Based on recent studies, it was proposed that NK1, and possibly NK2 [[receptor antagonist]]s, could be developed as analgesic drugs.
It has been studied that the mice carrying a disruption of the gene encoding SP/NKA show severely reduced nociceptive pain responses when the stimuli are moderate to intense. Pain behaviors induced by mechanical, thermal, and chemical stimulation of somatic and visceral tissues were reduced in the mutant mice lacking SP/NKA. However, it has been proposed that the importance of SP and NKA in animal's  pain response apply only to a certain 'window' of pain intensities, and, when the intensity of the pain stimuli is further increased, the responses of the [[knockout mouse|knockout mice]] is not severely different from the wild-type mice.<ref name="pmid9537323">{{cite journal | vauthors = De Felipe C, Herrero JF, O'Brien JA, Palmer JA, Doyle CA, Smith AJ, Laird JM, Belmonte C, Cervero F, Hunt SP | title = Altered nociception, analgesia and aggression in mice lacking the receptor for substance P | journal = Nature | volume = 392 | issue = 6674 | pages = 394–7 | date = Mar 1998 | pmid = 9537323 | doi = 10.1038/32904 }}</ref>
 
Substance P increases glutamate activity (NMDA) in central nervous system, and it is associated with the development of [[brain edema]] and functional deficits after traumatic brain injury.<ref name="pmid19436311">{{cite journal | vauthors = Donkin JJ, Nimmo AJ, Cernak I, Blumbergs PC, Vink R | title = Substance P is associated with the development of brain edema and functional deficits after traumatic brain injury | journal = Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism | volume = 29 | issue = 8 | pages = 1388–98 | date = Aug 2009 | pmid = 19436311 | doi = 10.1038/jcbfm.2009.63 }}</ref>

=== Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting===
see: [[Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting]] and [[Aprepitant]]
 
In line with its role as a first line defense system, SP is released when toxicants or poisons come into contact with a range of receptors on cellular elements in the [[chemoreceptor trigger zone]],  located in the floor of the fourth ventricle of the brain, the ([[area postrema]]).  Presumably, SP is released in or around the [[Nucleus of the Solitary Tract]] upon integrated activity of [[dopamine]], [[serotonin]], [[opioid]] and/or [[acetylcholine]] receptor signaling. NK1Rs are stimulated. In turn, a fairly complex reflex is triggered involving cranial nerves sub-serving respiration, retroperistalsis, and general autonomic discharge.

====Denervation supersensitivity====
When the innervation to substance P nerve terminals is lost, post-synaptic cells compensate for the loss of adequate neurotransmitter by increasing the expression of post-synaptic receptors.  This, ultimately, leads to a condition known as Denervation Supersensitivity as the post-synaptic nerves will become hypersensitive to any release of substance P into the synaptic cleft.
 
==Deficiency==
