Bradykinin was discovered in 1949 as a substance generated from a globulin precursor in plasma by the action of proteases. Its name indicates that it causes a slow movement of the gut1. As early as 1909 it was noted that substances found in urine, which were later identified as kinins, have hypotensive actions2. Kinins are effectors of vasodilation, vascular permeability, NO release and arachidonicacid mobilization. They are important regulators of blood pressure, kidney function and heart function, and they are also involved in inflammation2,3,5. Bradykinin is generated from the blood globulin kininogen HK, by the action of the kallikrein system in blood (related to the blood clotting cascade) but can also be generated in other tissues and organs3. Besides kallikrein, other proteases such as plasmin may also release bradykinin. Several peptidases can degrade kinins, including Angiotensin. See instructions for use for references.
Converting Enzyme (ACE), a metalloproteinase which converts Angiotensin I to Angio‐
tensin II and destroys bradykinin3,5. Plasma Bradykinin is rapidly degraded to a smaller
stable peptide (BK1‐5) form4
1. What percentage of your IgE allergy testing panel consists of molecular allergens rather than allergen extracts? The ALEX2 IgE allergen panel consists of 117 extracts and 183 molecular allergens. This represents the largest panel of molecular allergens on the market, including 50 unique...
Cases of food and environmental allergies have been increasing over the last decade. While conservative estimates suggest IgE-mediated allergy affects 6-8% of children and 2-3% of adults, some estimates are as high as 30%.3, 2 Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include itching, hives,...
Food sensitivity or food intolerance involves a non-allergic response to a food or food additive. In a recent on-line survey conducted in the U.S., 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 reported a food intolerance. While a food allergy is typically mediated by IgE antibodies, adverse reactions to food...
