General description

Bradykinin, a nonapeptide, is produced in plasma under inflammatory conditions by cleavage of kininogen by kallikrein. Bradykinin is involved in a number of physiological functions, including the release of nitric oxide, stimulation of pain receptors, induction of antimitogenic effects, inhibition of cAMP accumulation, induction of smooth muscle contraction, and vasodilation, as well as in inflammation processes. Also involved in edema resulting from trauma or injury. Improves post-ischemic recovery of the heart via a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism.

Application

Bradykininhas been used in studying the changes in colonic afferent response tobradykinin.

The cellular mechanisms mediating norepinephrine (NE) functions in brain to result in behaviors are unknown. We identified the L-type Ca2+ channel (LTCC) CaV1.2 as a principal target for Gq-coupled α1-adrenergic receptors (ARs). α1AR signaling increased LTCC activity in hippocampal neurons.
