1 Dual mechanism of phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis by substance P in brain. Phosphatidylinositols tachykinin precursor 1 Homo sapiens
2 These results are consistent with the phosphatidylinositol breakdown caused by substance P in some tissues. Phosphatidylinositols tachykinin precursor 1 Homo sapiens
3 Thus, in the presence of very low doses of substance P (65 pM) a preferential degradation of 1-acyl(predominantly stearoyl)-2-arachidonoylglycerophosphoinositol molecular species occurs, whereas high doses of the peptide (0.65 microM) induce a generalized hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol without showing any preference towards molecular species rich in arachidonic acid.

4 Hence we describe for the first time a dual, dose-dependent mechanism for phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis by substance P, suggesting the possibility that either phospholipase A2 or phospholipase C activation is involved. Phosphatidylinositols tachykinin precursor 1 Homo sapiens
