T-Kininogen is one of the acute phase proteins, and is a precursor of T-kinin and a cysteine protease inhibitor. Two homologous T-kininogens (TI- and TII-kininogens) were isolated from microsomal fraction of inflamed rat liver, by chromatographies on columns of DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B and DEAE-5PW and by affinity chromatography on a column of anti T-kininogen monoclonal antibody. The amino terminal amino acid sequences of the two microsomal pyridylethylated T-kininogens after pyroglutamyl aminopeptidase treatment were identical with those of TI- and TII-kininogens from inflamed rat plasma. Microsomal T-kininogens moved faster on SDS-PAGE after treatment with endoglycosidase H. The amounts of microsomal TI- and TII-kininogens in inflamed and non-inflamed rat liver were quantitated by immunoblotting of homogenates of liver microsomes using anti T-kininogen rabbit antiserum. The amounts of microsomal T-kininogens were increased in inflamed rat liver, but the ratio of the amounts of TI-kininogen to TII-kininogen was not different in the inflamed and non-inflamed rat liver. On the other hand, TII-kininogen was not significantly detected in non-inflamed rat plasma. These results indicate that the secretion of one of the T-kininogens, TII-kininogen, into plasma may be prevented by some unknown mechanism.
