The elevation of intracellular [Ca2+] induced by bradykinin (Bk) was monitored with fura-2 fluorescence in human skin fibroblasts. Neither [des-Arg10][Leu9]kallidin nor D-Arg[Hyp3,Thi5,D-Tic7,Oic8]bradykinin (HOE140) inhibited the Ca2+ response stimulated by Bk. Moreover, each behaved as a partial agonist causing the elevation of intracellular [Ca2+].
