MP Biomedicals™ Bradykinin

Description

• Bradykinin activates sphingolipid metabolism
• Fibroblasts treated with bradykinin produce a rapid and important increase in ceramide which is followed by a transient rise in sphingosine content
• The peptide also increases ceramide cellular content by rapidly mobilizing neutral glycolipids
• Bradykinin plays an important role in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance, smooth muscle contraction, vasodilation and capillary permeability
• The bradykinin potentiators, which possess no bradykinin activity themselves, enhance the activity of bradykinin
• Synonyms: Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe-Ser-Pro-Phe-Arg CAS Number: 5979-11-3 EC Number: 227-781-2 Physical Appearance: White powder Format: Supplied as acetate salt Soluble in 0.1M HOAc (25mg/mL)
