Role of human tissue kallikrein in gastrointestinal stromal tumour invasion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
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

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
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.

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2016
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-

Potassium Intake Prevents the Induction of the Renin-Angiotensin System and Increases Medullary ACE2 and COX-2 in the Kidneys of Angiotensin II-Dependent Hypertensive Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
In angiotensin II (Ang II)-dependent hypertensive rats there is an increased expression of proximal tubule angiotensinogen (AGT), collecting duct renin and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), which contributes to intratubular Ang II formation.

Contact pathway in surgical and transcatheter aortic valve replacement

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundAortic valve replacement is the gold standard treatment for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, but thrombosis of bioprosthetic valves (PVT) remains a concern.ObjectiveTo analyze the factors involved in the contact pathway during aortic valve ...

Interdependence of kallikrein-related peptidases in proteolytic networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
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]

open access: yes, 2006
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

Cleavage of the vaspin N-terminus releases cell-penetrating peptides that affect early stages of adipogenesis and inhibit lipolysis in mature adipocytes

open access: yesAdipocyte, 2021
Vaspin expression and function is related to metabolic disorders and comorbidities of obesity. In various cellular and animal models of obesity, diabetes and atherosclerosis vaspin has shown beneficial, protective and/or compensatory action.

Biochemistry and functional aspects of human glandular kallikreins [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
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.
