Definition of kinin in English:

kinin

noun ˈkʌɪnɪnˈkaɪnən

1Biochemistry
Any of a group of substances formed in body tissue in response to injury. They are polypeptides and cause vasodilation and smooth muscle contraction.
Example sentencesExamples
- The classic pathways of complement and kinins are activated and attract the inflamed cells.
- During states of ineffective arterial volume, local production of vasodilatory prostanoids and kinins in the kidney offsets the decrease in renal blood flow and helps maintain the glomerular filtration rate.
- Three different pathways may lead to kinin formation during inflammation: the generation of bradykinin as a result of activation of the Hageman factor and the production of plasma kallikrein; the production of lysylbradykinin by tissue kallikreins; and the action of cellular proteases in kinin formation.
- This same converting enzyme also breaks down kinins, which are powerful vasodilators, and therefore tend to lower the blood pressure.
- In addition, the release of vasoactive kinins from muscle may interfere with renal hemodynamics.
2Botany
A compound that promotes cell division and inhibits ageing in plants.
Also called cytokinin
Example sentencesExamples
- Coconut milk is recognized as a rich source of plant cell division inducers, which have become known as kinins.
- Maybe these cells would differ in sensitivity to auxin or kinin.
- Other topical therapies new to the anti-aging scene include plant kinins which appear to have both anti-irritant and photoaging reversal properties with no perceived irritation.

Origin

1950s: from Greek kinein 'to move' + -in¹.
