Bradykinin

Bradykinin is a kallikrein-generated nonapeptide; B2 receptor → eNOS → NO and PGI2 → vasodilation; ACE degrades bradykinin — ACE inhibition causes cough and angioedema; hereditary angioedema (C1-INH deficiency) is treated with icatibant (B2R antagonist) or lanadelumab.

Also known as: bradykinin, BK, kallikrein-kinin, B2 receptor, BDKRB2, BDKRB1, icatibant, hereditary angioedema, HAE, C1-esterase inhibitor, ACE inhibitor cough
