Application

Bradykinin Fragment 1-7 has been used as an external calibrant/standard in the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis of protein spots.

Bradykinin Fragment 1-7 is used in research on the specificity and kinetics of kininase(s).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bradykinin (BK) is a pro-inflammatory mediator and a neuromediator. It modulates several vascular and renal functions. Bradykinin (BK) plays a key role in inducing vascular permeability and mitogenesis. It helps to activate the liberation of nitric oxide in inflammatory and cancer tissues.

General description
