This peptide, KPNPERFYGLMamide, from the brain of the frog Rana ridibunda is related to Substance P and belongs to the family of tachykinins (O'Harte et al, 1991). Ranakinin is equipotent with substance P as a ligand for the neurokinin receptor subtype NK1. Ranakinin has affinity for the NK1 and NK2 site similar to that of substance P and neurokinin A, respectively, but has low affinity for the NK3 receptors (Badgery-Parker et al, 1993).
Kodjo et al (1998) have reported that Ranakinin stimulates phospholipase C activity in the frog
