Another name for Substance P?

The receptor nomenclature supplement to this month’s TiPS (Trends in
Pharmacological Sciences, a British journal) makes no mention of
substance P, nor does my (just 2 years old) Goodman & Gilman’s.

Is there a different name for substance P or are both of these simply
not mentioning it?

    I have never heard Substance P referred to by any other name.  If your
    really interested look for a book called The Biochemical Basis of
    Neuropharmacology, 6th Ed. by Cooper, Bloom, and Roth.  The publisher is
    Oxford University Press.  This book has a somewhat brief but adequate
    discussion as well as a few references on Substance P.
