Overview

Bradykinin Family Peptides are vasoactive kinins involved in inflammation, pain, and vascular permeability.

Key Members

  • Bradykinin: Nonapeptide vasodilator and pain mediator
  • Kallidin: Decapeptide with similar actions
  • Des-Arg-bradykinin: Metabolite with distinct receptor selectivity
