Human low-molecular-mass kininogen. Amino-acid sequence of the light chain; homology with other protein sequences. 1984

F Lottspeich, and J Kellermann, and A Henschen, and G Rauth, and W Müller-Esterl

The complete amino acid sequence of the human low-molecular-mass kininogen light chain has been determined. The peptide chain contains 38 amino acid residues. In position 18 the half-cystine residue which forms the disulfide bridge to the heavy chain was found. Alignment of the present sequence with other kininogen light chain sequences indicated that the amino-terminal part of it is species-specific and the carboxy-terminal part is function-specific. Statistically significant internal homologies between various parts of the low-molecular-mass kininogen sequence as well as homologies between parts of the sequences of kininogen and ribonucleases were observed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007704 Kininogens Endogenous peptides present in most body fluids. Certain enzymes convert them to active KININS which are involved in inflammation, blood clotting, complement reactions, etc. Kininogens belong to the cystatin superfamily. They are cysteine proteinase inhibitors. HIGH-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT KININOGEN; (HMWK); is split by plasma kallikrein to produce BRADYKININ. LOW-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT KININOGEN; (LMWK); is split by tissue kallikrein to produce KALLIDIN. Cystatins, Kininogen,Kininogen,Prekinins,Prokinins,T-Kininogen,Thiostatin,Kininogen Cystatins,T Kininogen
