This caused an excess of bradykinin production, resulting in vessel leakage and swelling.

They found that a protein called GRK2 binds to and prevents delta opioid receptors on rat sensory neurons from responding normally to opioids, but when these peripheral neurons were exposed to a natural inflammatory molecule called bradykinin, GRK2 moved away from the delta opioid receptors, setting off a biochemical reaction that restored the functioning of these receptors.
