Substance P (SP) is an undecapeptide (a peptide composed of a chain of 11 amino acid residues) member of the tachykinin neuropeptide family. It is a neuropeptide, acting as a neurotransmitter and as a neuromodulator.Substance P and its closely related neurokinin A (NKA) are produced from a polyprotein precursor after differential splicing of the preprotachykinin A gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of substance P is as follows:Arg Pro Lys Pro Gln Gln Phe Phe Gly Leu Met (RPKPQQFFGLM)with an amidation at the C-terminus.Substance P is released from the terminals of specific sensory nerves. It is found in the brain and spinal cord and is associated with inflammatory processes and pain.

Rat Substance P (SP) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SP in samples. An antibody specific for SP has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySP present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SP is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of SP bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
