The immunofluorescence staining using anti-human urinary kallikrein polyclonal antiserum was intense in the luminal rim of the striated duct cells, but decreased in the excretory duct cells and was weak in the intercalated duct cells. Western blot analysis demonstrated the monospecificity of the antiserum to glandular kallikrein in Macaca submandibular gland homogenate. The staining was observed to a similar degree as that in salivary glands with long and numerous striated ducts in the following order: the submandibular, the parotid and the sublingual gland. These findings suggest that kallikrein is secreted by exocytosis from the duct cells, mainly from the striated duct cells.

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).

D012469	Salivary Glands	Glands that secrete SALIVA in the MOUTH. There are three pairs of salivary glands (PAROTID GLAND; SUBLINGUAL GLAND; SUBMANDIBULAR GLAND).	Gland, Salivary,Glands, Salivary,Salivary Gland
D013361	Sublingual Gland	A salivary gland on each side of the mouth below the TONGUE.	Gland, Sublingual,Glands, Sublingual,Sublingual Glands
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.
