Inhibition of three porcine glandular kallikreins by chloromethyl ketones. 1977

F Fiedler, and C Hirschauer, and H Fritz

In accordance with its lack of inhibitory activity against pig pancreatic kallikrein, Tos-LysCH2C1 has been shown also not to inhibit the porcine kallikreins from submandibular glands and from urine. Peptidyl-lysyl-chloromethanes, however, have been demonstrated to be irreversible inhibitors of all three enzymes. The rates of inhibition increase with increasing size of the amino acid residue in position P2 of the inhibitors. As expected from the known primary specificity of the pancreatic kallikrein, Gly-Val-ArgCH2C1 was found to be the most potent of the inhibitors studies. Kinetic constants for the inhibiton of the three porcine glandular kallikreins have been determined for two of the compounds. All data obtained suggest a close similarity of the three glandular kallikreins of the pig and even a possible identity of the enzymes from submandibular glands and from urine.

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).

D007659 Ketones Organic compounds containing a carbonyl group Ketone
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013363 Submandibular Gland One of two salivary glands in the neck, located in the space bound by the two bellies of the digastric muscle and the angle of the mandible. It discharges through the submandibular duct. The secretory units are predominantly serous although a few mucous alveoli, some with serous demilunes, occur.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
