Bradykinin, along with kallidin signals through the B2 receptor which is ubiquitously and constitutively expressed in healthy tissues.

The B2 receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor and stimulates phospholipase C to increase intracellular free calcium, inhibits adenylate cyclase and stimulates the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways.
