Research & Evidence
Ranatachykinin A is a small peptide of the tachykinin family, originally identified in frog tissue. Tachykinins are signaling peptides that act on neurokinin receptors and are involved in neurotransmission and smooth-muscle activity. This is a peptide rather than a psychoactive alkaloid, and little beyond its sequence and receptor family is firmly established for this particular compound.
