Cell surface proteins that bind tachykinins with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Three classes of tachykinin receptors have been characterized, the NK-1; NK-2; and NK-3; which prefer, respectively, substance P, neurokinin A (substance K, neurokinin alpha, neuromedin L), and neurokinin B (neurokinin beta, neuromedin K).
