Protease: Serpin complexes to assess contact system and intrinsic pathway activation
Mounting evidence suggests that a variety of disease states are pathophysiologically related to activation of the contact system in vivo. The plasma contact system is composed of a cascade of serine proteases initiated by surface activation of factor XII,

So far the Cl inactivator, alpha 2-macroglobulin, antithrombin III (in the presence of heparin), and alpha 1-antitrypsin have been identified as inhibitors of plasma kallikrein; alpha 1-antitrypsin reacts slowly also with tissue kallikreins. Of the various naturally occurring kallikrein inhibitors the basic trypsin-kallikrein inhibitor of bovine organs,

Background Treatment decisions can be difficult in men with low-risk prostate cancer (PCa). Objective To evaluate the ability of a panel of four kallikrein markers in blood—total prostate-specific antigen (PSA), free PSA, intact PSA, and kallikrein ...

Background: Cleavage of the influenza HA precursor by host proteases is a critical step in the virus life cycle. Results: The airway-secreted proteases kallikrein 5 and kallikrein 12 were found to cleave and activate influenza HA.

summary Kallikreins are a family of serine proteases with a range of tissue-specific and essential proteolytic functions. Among the best studied are the prostate tissue-specific KLK2 and KLK3 genes and their secreted protease products, human kallikrein 2,

Modulation of the Plasma Kallikrein-Kinin System Proteins Performed by Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans
Human plasma kallikrein-kinin system proteins are related to inflammation through bradykinin. In the proximity of its target cells, high molecular weight kininogen (H-kininogen) is the substrate of plasma kallikrein, which releases bradykinin from H ...
