Inactivation of kallikrein in human plasma.
Human plasma kallikrein is inactivated by plasma protease inhibitors. This study was designed to determine the nature of these protease inhibitors and to assess their relative importance in the inactivation of kallikrein. Therefore, the kinetics of kallikrein inactivation and the formation of kallikrein inhibitor complexes were studied in normal plasma and in plasma depleted of either alpha 2-m...
متن کاملHuman plasma kallikrein
A simple method for isolation of kallikrein from human plasma is described. Before activation of the enzyme with acetone, the plasma was treated with 0.2 M-methylamine at pH 8.2 to inactivate a2-macroglobulin and thus prevent the irreversible binding of the active enzyme to the inhibitor. The enzyme was adsorbed on soya-bean trypsin inhibitor-Sepharose 4B and eluted with 5 mM-NaOH, pH 11.3. It ...
متن کاملInhibitors of kallikrein in human plasma.
Human plasma was fractionated by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration to determine which method would give the greatest number of clearly separable kallikrein inhibitory peaks. With G-200 gel filtration three peaks could be separated which were demonstrated to contain alpha(2)-macroglobulin, C1 inactivator, and alpha(1)-antitrypsin. No...
متن کاملUrinary kallikrein and plasma renin activity in normal human pregnancy.
Urinary kallikrein excretion (UK), plasma renin activity (PRA), and 24-hour urine volume, sodium, and potassium excretion rates were determined sequentially in 16 normal pregnant women. Throughout gestation, UK was significantly elevated as compared to values obtained in 13 control women (1466 +/- 152 vs 375 +/- 90 U/g creatinine). The highest level was observed in Period 2 of gestation, corres...
متن کاملThe activation of pro-urokinase by plasma kallikrein and its inactivation by thrombin.
Plasma kallikrein was found to be a good activator of pro-urokinase, the inactive zymogen form of urokinase. The complete activation of pro-urokinase by plasma kallikrein was obtained in 2 h with an enzyme/substrate weight ratio of 1/30. The rate of activation of pro-urokinase by plasma kallikrein was comparable to that catalyzed by plasmin and trypsin. The rate of activation of pro-urokinase b...
