Kassinin is a peptide derived from the skin of the African frog Kassina senegalensis. It belongs to tachykinin family of neuropeptides. It is secreted as a defense response, and is involved in neuropeptide signalling.
CAT# | 10-101-66 |
CAS | 63968-82-1 |
Background | Dodecapeptide tachykinin found in the central nervous system of the amphibian Kassina senegalensis. Kassinin is similar in structure and action to other tachykinins, but is especially effective in contracting smooth muscle tissue and stimulating the micturition reflex. >> Read More |
