What Wikipedia says

Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide, belonging to the tachykinin family of neuropeptides that acts as a neurotransmitter and a neuromodulator. Substance P and the closely related neurokinin A (NKA) are produced from a polyprotein precursor after alternative splicing of the preprotachykinin A gene.
