Bdkrb2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including G protein-coupled receptor binding activity; bradykinin receptor activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to osmotic stress by p53 class mediator; negative regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; and vasodilation. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and endosome. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in metanephros; nervous system; and optic vesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; hypertension; and rhinitis. Orthologous to human BDKRB2 (bradykinin receptor B2).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Bdkrb2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • G-protein coupled receptor
  • extracellular domain
  • Cholecystokinin A receptor, N-terminal
  • protease binding
  • G-protein-coupled receptor binding
  • protein binding
  • seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily
  • immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif
  • transmembrane domain
  • intracellular domain
  • 7 transmembrane receptor (rhodopsin family)
  • bradykinin receptor
  • protein heterodimerization
