Bradykinin function - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Define kinins. What effect do they have? Kinins: small polypeptides that cause powerful vasodilation --> Ex// Bradykinin, kallidin (kallidin converted to bradykinin) --> Linked to clotting system & activated with activation of clotting --> Activated kinins cause increased vascular permeability, vasodilation & smooth muscle contraction & pain Cytokines polypeptide signaling molecules that affect the function of other cells by stimulating surface receptors—generally function as ...
