  "term": "Bradykinin",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A peptide composed of nine amino acid residues, formed in the body through the enzymatic cleavage of kininogen by kallikrein. It acts as a potent vasodilator, increasing blood vessel permeability and contributing to inflammation and pain responses. Bradykinin is rapidly degraded by kininases, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).",
