There are three known mammalian tachykinin receptors termed NK1, NK2 and NK3. All are members of the 7 transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor family and induce the activation of phospholipase C, producing inositol triphosphate (so called Gq-coupled).

Inhibitors of NK-1, known as NK-1 receptor antagonists, can be used as antiemetic agents, such as the drug aprepitant.{{Cite web|title=Aprepitant|url=https://bnf.nice.org.uk/drug/aprepitant.html|website=NICE|access-date=2020-05-10}}
