Biological activities of C1 inhibitor [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Immunology, 2008
Broadly speaking, C1 inhibitor plays important roles in the regulation of vascular permeability and in the suppression of inflammation. Vascular permeability control is exerted largely through inhibition of two of the proteases involved in the generation of bradykinin, factor XIIa and plasma kallikrein (the plasma kallikrein-kinin system).

Spectrum of diagnosis of hereditary angioedema: Seven case reports

open access: yesIndian Journal of Allergy Asthma and Immunology, 2020
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a potentially life-threatening disorder, due to a mutation in complement one-inhibitor (C1-INH) gene, which blocks the activity of various components of complement – fibrinolytic and bradykinin control system.

Mechanisms of C1-Inhibitor Deficiency

open access: yesImmunobiology, 2002
C1 inhibitor (C1-Inh) is a protease inhibitor of the serpin family. It interacts and forms complexes with several serine proteases although not all these interactions were proved to be relevant in vivo. Based on studies in deficient patients, C1-Inh appears pivotal in regulating the activation of complement classical pathway and of contact system.
