Glycosaminoglycans affect the interaction of human plasma kallikrein with plasminogen, factor XII and inhibitors [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2003 Human plasma kallikrein, a serine proteinase, plays a key role in intrinsic blood clotting, in the kallikrein-kinin system, and in fibrinolysis. The proteolytic enzymes involved in these processes are usually controlled by specific inhibitors and may be ...
