Neurokinin B TFA
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Neurokinin B TFA is a tachykinin family peptide that preferentially binds to and activates NK3R over other tachykinin receptors. Neurokinin B TFA preferentially binds to the substance P receptor (SP-N receptor) and mediates acetylcholine release from cholinergic neurons. Neurokinin B TFA regulates the pulsatile release of Kisspeptin and GnRH, stimulates or inhibits the secretion of luteinizing hormone (HY-P2293), regulates reproductive function via metabolic signals, and drives the onset of puberty. Neurokinin B TFA exerts vasoactive effects and induces contraction of isolated guinea pig ileum. Neurokinin B TFA can be used in studies related to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Biological Activity
|
NK3R |
Neurokinin B (1 nmol; intracerebroventricular injection; single administration) TFA induces a mild and sustained increase in LH concentration in ovary-intact ewes at any stage of the estrous cycle, with a peak reaching 4-6 ng/mL[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:Suffolk breed (adult, ovary-intact, random stages of the estrous cycle)[3]
-
Dosage:1 nmol
-
Administration:i.c.v.; single injection
-
Result:Produced a prolonged increase in LH concentrations lasting 2-3 hours in three of five ewes.
Reached peak LH levels of 4-6 ng/mL, similar to late follicular phase concentrations.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (1.74 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
