Bradykinin Receptors

Medical Condition:
Bradykinin Receptors

Cell surface receptors that bind bradykinin and related kinins with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The identified receptor types (B-1 and B-2, or BK-1 and BK-2) recognize the endogenous kallidins, t-kinins, and certain bradykinin fragments as well as bradykinin itself.
