Activity

  • Function:  [Bradykinin-potentiating peptide 5a]: Modestly inhibits ACE (with highest affinity for the N-site) and reveals strong bradykinin-potentiating activity. Induces nitric oxide (NO) production depended on muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1 subtype (CHRM1) and bradykinin B2 receptor (BDKRB2) activation. Both these receptors contribute to the vasodilation induced by this peptide that may have an indirect action on BDKRB2 and a direct agonistic action on CHRM1.; [Bradykinin-potentiating peptide 10c]: Peptide with several activities. It inhibits the activity of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) by a preferential interaction with its C-domain (PubMed:11994001). It evokes transient hypotension (-14 mmHg) similar to that evoked by 0,5 ug of bradykinin, when injected alone into rats. It has a high bradykinin-potentiating effect (120%), when 60 nmol of BPP-10c are coinjected with 0.5 ug of bradykinin into rats (PubMed:22869554). Does not affect angiotensin-1 pressor effects. Shows potent and long-lasting antihypertensive activity as well as a reduction of the heart rate (PubMed:17475904). It also binds and dose-dependently promotes the activation of cytosolic argininosuccinate synthase (ASS1), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of citrulline, L-aspartate and ATP to argininosuccinate, AMP and pyrophosphate. It also enhances ASS1-dependent arginine production in HEK 293 cells, as well as in spontaneous hypertensive rat (SHR) and Wistar rat plasma. In addition, it induces the production of nitric-oxide (NO) by HUVEC cells via the endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (NOS3), which use arginine as a substrate and produce NO. It has been shown to be internalized by ASS1-expressing endothelial (HUVEC) and kidney (HEK 293) cells, and is detected homogenously distributed within the cell cytoplasm for up to 2 hours (PubMed:19491403).
