Full name | bradykinin receptor B2 |
Aliases | ,B2R,BK-2,BK2,BKR2,BRB2,DKFZp686O088, |
Gene summary | 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. [provided by RefSeq] |
