Role of human tissue kallikrein in gastrointestinal stromal tumour invasion [PDF]
Background: Human tissue kallikrein (hK1) generates vasodilator kinins from kininogen and promotes angiogenesis by kinin-dependent and kinin-independent mechanisms.

Molecular biology of the kallikrein-kinin system: from structure to function
The participation of the kallikrein-kinin system, comprising the serine proteases kallikreins, the protein substrates kininogens and the effective peptides kinins, in some pathological processes like hypertension and cardiovascular diseases is still a ...

New tools to study contact activation.
The recent availability of a sensitive chromogenic method approach for determination of FXIa activity has been explored for designing sensitive methods for FXIIa and Kallikrein, both using FXa formation as the read-out. For both enzymes the assay range 1-

Interdependence of kallikrein-related peptidases in proteolytic networks [PDF]
Human kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) are 15 homologous serine proteases involved in several (patho)physiological processes, including cancer. Secreted as precursors, they are activated upon proteolytic release of a short propeptide. We searched for

A comprehensive nomenclature for serine proteases with homology to tissue kallikreins [PDF]
The human kallikrein locus on chromosome 19q13.3-13.4 contains kallikrein 1 - the tissue kallikrein - and 14 related serine proteases. Recent investigations into their function and evolution have indicated that the present nomenclature for these proteins

Biochemistry and functional aspects of human glandular kallikreins [PDF]
Human urinary kallikrein was purified by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 and affinity chromatography on aprotinin-Sepharose, followed by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose.
