Vapreotide
Vapreotide is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a synthetic octapeptide somatostatin analog. It was being studied for the treatment of cancer.The exact mechanism of action is unknown, although one study has provided in vitro and in vivo evidence for a tachykinin NK1 receptor antagonist effect in the analgesic effects of vapreotide (PMID: 7556407 ).

Enzymes
- General function:
- Involved in G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway
- Specific function:
- This is a receptor for the tachykinin neuropeptide substance P. It is probably associated with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The rank order of affinity of this receptor to tachykinins is:substance P > substance K > neuromedin-K
- Gene Name:
- TACR1

- General function:
- Involved in G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway
- Specific function:
- Receptor for somatostatins-14 and -28. This receptor is coupled via pertussis toxin sensitive G proteins to inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. In addition it stimulates phosphotyrosine phosphatase and PLC via pertussis toxin insensitive as well as sensitive G proteins. In RIN-5F cells, this receptor inhibits calcium entry by suppressing voltage dependent calcium-channels
