Structure and Chromosomal Localization of the Gene (BDKRB2) Encoding Human Bradykinin B2 Receptor
1 Sept 1994
Abstract excerpt
The bradykinin B2 receptor (BDKRB2) has high affinity for the intact kinins, which mediate a wide spectrum of biological effects, including pain, inflammation, vasodilation, and smooth muscle contraction and relaxation. In the present study, we have cloned and sequenced the gene encoding human bradykinin B2 receptor from a human genomic library. The B2 receptor gene contains three exons separated by two introns....
