Neuropeptides (Neurokinins, Bombesin, Neurotensin, Cholecystokinins, Opioids) and Smooth Muscle

  • Chapter
Pharmacology of Smooth Muscle

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 111))

Abstract

Five groups of linear biopolymers, composed of amino acid residues and called neuropeptides, are considered in this chapter. The primary structure of a prototype of each group is shown in Table 1. The sequences were initially identified in animals and subsequently all of them were also found in man.
