Biochem/physiol Actions

Neurotensin (NTS) functions as a neurotransmitter/neuromodulator in the central nervous system (CNS) and as an endocrine agent in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Neurotensin is involved in a variety of physiological processes such as, stress and pain modulation, pathophysiology of drug addiction, schizophrenia, Parkinson disease, depression, locomotion and reward. In the brain, neurotensin modulates dopaminergic transmission in the nigrostriatal and mesocorticolimbic pathways as well as hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary.
