Product Name :
Bradykinin B1 R (R239) Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
Kinins are important biologically active peptides that mediate cardiovascular homeostasis, inflammation and nociception. Bradykinin, the major effector peptide of the kallikrein-kinin system, is regulated by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which degrades the peptide. Bradykinin normally exerts its effects through the activation of two seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors, named B1 and B2. The B2 receptor has an apparent molecular mass of 75-80 kDa (as observed in SDS-PAGE), is constitutively expressed and preferentially binds full length bradykinin. Deletion of the B2 receptor leads to salt-sensitive hypertension and altered nociception in mice. The B1 receptor binds to derivatives of bradykinin and kallidin, which are produced by carboxypeptidase action to generate the products des-Arg9-bradykinin and des-Arg10-kallidin, respectively. The expression of the B1 receptor is inducible by inflammatory mediators, such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cytokines. The B1 and B2 receptors represent potential therapeutic targets for treatment of inflammatory disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Alternative Name :
B1 bradykinin receptor; B1R; BK-1 receptor; BRADYB1; BDKRB1 Swiss-Prot :
