To elucidate if genetic variants in the bradykinin B2 receptor (B2) gene occur that could affect receptor expression and function, we screened for mutations in the promoter and in the coding region of the human B2 gene. In our initial study we analyzed 92 consecutive, unrelated subjects (including 2

The functional regulation of the human bradykinin B2 receptor expressed in sf21 cells was studied. Human bradykinin B2 receptors were immunodetected as a band of 75-80 kDa in membranes from recombinant baculovirus-infected cells and visualized at the plasma membrane, by confocal microscopy, using an
von Willebrand Disease (vWD) is the most frequently inherited bleeding disorder in humans, and is caused by a qualitative and/or quantitative abnormality of the von Willebrand factor (vWF). A large number of defects that cause qualitative variants have been located in the A1 domain of the vWF, which
