Progressive inhibition of human glandular (urinary) kallikrein by human serum and identification of the progressive antikallikrein as alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-protease inhibitor). 1981

R Geiger, and U Stuckstedte, and B Clausnitzer, and H Fritz

Human urinary kallikrein was inhibited by human alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1-protease inhibitor) in a similar way as by equivalent amounts of human serum. The inhibitor present in the kallikrein-inhibitor complex formed was identified as alpha 1-antitrypsin by two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis. Under the experimental conditions applied, 90 mIU (= 185 microgram) alpha 1-antitrypsin inhibits about 9 microgram of human urinary kallikrein in 24 h at 37 degrees C, 1 ml of human serum, containing 2-4 mg alpha 1-antitrypsin, inhibits about 70 microgram kallikrein. At an incubation temperature of 25 degrees C, the rate of inactivation is significantly lower than at 37 degrees C. No inhibition was observed at 0 degrees C or when alpha 1-antitrypsin was presaturated with trypsin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
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).
