Inactivation of bradykinin and kallidin by cathepsin G and mast cell chymase. 1985

C F Reilly, and N B Schechter, and J Travis

Human neutrophil cathepsin G and human skin chymase can inactivate bradykinin by cleavage at the carboxy terminal phenylalanyl-arginyl peptide bond of this polypeptide. The mast cell enzyme is far more effective than cathepsin G, the rates of hydrolysis being comparable to that found for angiotensin I to angiotensin II conversion (C.F. Reilly, D. Tewksbury, N. Schechter, and J. Travis, J. Biological Chemistry 257:8619-8622). This ability to both inactivate bradykinin and accelerate the production of angiotensin II may be of significance in the development of biochemical events associated with inflammation.

D007609 Kallidin A decapeptide bradykinin homolog cleaved from kininogen by kallikreins. It is a smooth-muscle stimulant and hypotensive agent that acts by vasodilatation.

D008407 Mast Cells Granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Like the BASOPHILS, mast cells contain large amounts of HISTAMINE and HEPARIN. Unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. Mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the STEM CELL FACTOR. Basophils, Tissue,Basophil, Tissue,Cell, Mast,Cells, Mast,Mast Cell,Tissue Basophil,Tissue Basophils

D010450 Endopeptidases A subclass of PEPTIDE HYDROLASES that catalyze the internal cleavage of PEPTIDES or PROTEINS. Endopeptidase,Peptide Peptidohydrolases
D001920 Bradykinin A nonapeptide messenger that is enzymatically produced from KALLIDIN in the blood where it is a potent but short-lived agent of arteriolar dilation and increased capillary permeability. Bradykinin is also released from MAST CELLS during asthma attacks, from gut walls as a gastrointestinal vasodilator, from damaged tissues as a pain signal, and may be a neurotransmitter.

D002403 Cathepsins A group of lysosomal proteinases or endopeptidases found in aqueous extracts of a variety of animal tissues. They function optimally within an acidic pH range. The cathepsins occur as a variety of enzyme subtypes including SERINE PROTEASES; ASPARTIC PROTEINASES; and CYSTEINE PROTEASES. Cathepsin
