Associations of KLKB1 with chemical compounds

  • Of note were a common polymorphism (30% of the population) at position 521 of KLKB1 cDNA, which leads to the replacement of asparagine with a serine at position 124 in the heavy chain of the A2 domain of the protein [1].
  • The role of the bradykinin-generating system in the pathogenesis of cancer was explored by simultaneously measuring plasma prekallikrein (PK), the precursor of kallikrein, which is the major enzyme responsible for kinin generation, and plasma kininogens (KNG), which are precursors of kinin, in patients with various cancers [20].
  • The determination of plasma prekallikrein by direct activation with beta-XIIa in the presence of acetone offers several advantages over the use of contact activators such as dextran sulfate [21].
  • Human plasma prekallikrein, a zymogen to a serine protease that contains four tandem repeats [22].
  • Human plasma prekallikrein was fragmented with cyanogen bromide, and 13 homogeneous peptides were isolated and sequenced [22].
 

Physical interactions of KLKB1

 

Co-localisations of KLKB1

  • Casein autography of isolated platelets revealed a approximately 90 kDa band of activity which comigrated with plasma prekallikrein (PK)/kallikrein, a known activator of pro-UK [24].
 

Regulatory relationships of KLKB1

 

Other interactions of KLKB1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of KLKB1

  • Exon-spanning PCR primer sets were identified by serial testing of primer pairs designed from KLKB1 cDNA sequence and DNA sequencing of PCR products [1].
  • Plasma prekallikrein was also quantitated by radial immunodiffusion, which gave results similar to those obtained by functional assay with beta-XIIa [21].
  • Recently RT-PCR studies had demonstrated the expression of plasma prekallikrein (PPK) mRNA in extrahepatic tissues [29].
  • Molecular cloning and expression of an alternative hKLK3 transcript coding for a variant protein of prostate-specific antigen [30].
  • We measured the circulating levels of plasma prekallikrein (PK) activity, factor XII, and high-molecular weight kininogen in the plasma of 636 type 1 diabetic patients from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology and Diabetes Intervention and Complications Study cohort [31].
