Pharmacologic Targets and Prototype Therapeutics in the Kallikrein-Kinin System: Bradykinin Receptor Agonists or Antagonists
The kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) is a complex system produced in various organs. This system includes kininogen (precursor for kinin), kallikreins, and pharmacologically active bradykinin (BK), which is considered to be proinflammatory and/or cardioprotective. It is a proinflammatory polypeptide th...
