BDKRB2 Antibody

Bradykinin receptor B2 is a G-protein coupled receptor forbradykinin, encoded by the BDKRB2 gene in humans. This gene encodes a receptor for bradykinin. The 9 aa bradykinin peptide elicits many responses including vasodilation, edema, smooth muscle spasm and pain fiber stimulation. This receptor associates with G proteins that stimulate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Alternate start codons result in two isoforms of the protein.
