The bradykinin receptor is a receptor for bradykinin.
There are two Bradykinin receptors: the B1 receptor and the B2 receptor.1
B2 receptor
The B2 receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor, coupled to Gq and Gi. Gq stimulates phospholipase C to increase intracellular free calcium and Gi inhibits adenylate cyclase. Furthermore, the receptor stimulates the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. It is ubiquitously and constitutively expressed in healthy tissues.
The B2 receptor forms a complex with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), and this is thought to play a role in cross-talk between the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the kinin-kallikrein system (KKS). The heptapeptide angiotensin 1-7 (A1-7) also potentiates bradykinin action on B2 receptors.2
Ictibant is a second generation B2 receptor antagonist which has undergone limited clinical trials in pain and inflammation.
Kallidin also signals through the B2 receptor.
