Kynins

Kynins are a family of peptide hormones found in vertebrates. They are characterized by a specific amino acid sequence and play a role in various physiological processes. Kynins are produced from larger precursor proteins and are involved in regulating inflammation, pain perception, and cardiovascular function. Their actions are mediated through specific receptors on target cells. Research into kynins has revealed their involvement in conditions such as arthritis and cardiovascular diseases. The study of kynins contributes to our understanding of how the body regulates these complex systems. Further research is ongoing to explore their full therapeutic potential.
