Bradykinin receptors are "cell surface receptors that bind bradykinin and related kinins with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The identified receptor types (B-1 and B-2, or BK-1 and BK-2) recognize endogenous kallidin; t-kinins; and certain bradykinin fragments as well as bradykinin itself."[1]

Bradykinin receptors are G-Protein-coupled cell surface receptors.
