Data Sheet
Background: Bradykinin B1 is a receptor for bradykinin and mediates responses to pathophysiological conditions such as inflammation, trauma, burns, shock, and allergy. Receptors for B1 are normally absent, but become highly upregulated after inflammatory stimuli. B1 receptor agonists may have important clinical value in the treatment of chronic pain and inflammatory disorders.
Application: Functional assays

Receptor expression on cell surface measured by flow cytometry (FACS) using an anti-FLAG antibody. Thin line: parental cells; thick line: receptor-expressing cells.
