Description

BDKRB1 encodes the bradykinin receptor B1, a G protein-coupled receptor that binds bradykinin and related kinins. It is induced by tissue injury and inflammation, mediating pain, vasodilation, and leukocyte trafficking. The receptor is involved in acute and chronic inflammatory responses, and its expression is upregulated by cytokines and growth factors.

Protein Summary

The bradykinin receptor B1 is a 353-amino acid transmembrane protein belonging to the rhodopsin-like GPCR family. It is constitutively internalized and recycled, and its signaling is primarily mediated through Gq/11 proteins, leading to phospholipase C activation, calcium mobilization, and MAPK pathway stimulation. Unlike B2 receptor, B1 is not constitutively expressed but is induced under inflammatory conditions.
