Species-specific pharmacology of maximakinin, an amphibian homologue of bradykinin: putative prodrug activity at the human B <sub>2</sub> receptor and peptidase resistance in rat
2016-12-17
Abstract excerpt
Maximakinin (MK), an amphibian peptide possessing the C-terminal sequence of bradykinin (BK), is a BK B 2 receptor (B 2 R) agonist eliciting prolonged signaling. We reinvestigated this 19-mer for species-specific pharmacologic profile, in vivo confirmation of resistance to inactivation by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), value as a module for the design of fusion proteins that bind to the B 2 R in mammalia...
