[Method of determining human and animal plasma kallikrein inhibitors]. 1981

M S Surovikina, and E E Fomina

A method for determining blood plasma kallikrein inhibitors is suggested. It is based on inhibiting the kininogenase activity of kallikrein. The donors' dry plasma devoid of kininases, of other proteolytic enzymes and their inhibitors was used as source and reference of prekallikrein, kallikrein and high-molecular kininogen. Freshly centrifuged plasma was incubated in the presence of unithiol at 37 degrees C in amounts producing a 30-50% inhibition of the kininogenase activity of kallikrein. The values obtained reflected the activity of kallikrein inhibitors and might be of great importance in the study of the physiological role and biochemical properties of kallikrein inhibitors in different animal species, in the diagnosis and prediction of various diseases, as criterion for laboratory control over administering tissue inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes of animal origin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007610 Kallikreins Proteolytic enzymes from the serine endopeptidase family found in normal blood and urine. Specifically, Kallikreins are potent vasodilators and hypotensives and increase vascular permeability and affect smooth muscle. They act as infertility agents in men. Three forms are recognized, PLASMA KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.34), TISSUE KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.35), and PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (EC 3.4.21.77).

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
