Abstract excerpt
The B2 bradykinin receptor (B2BKR) mediates most of the inflammatory actions of bradykinin. To evaluate its potential role in allergic diseases, we assessed the structure of the human B2BKR gene. Screening a human placenta genomic DNA library identified only clones containing exons 2 and 3. Human...
