Background: Kallikrein 1
Kallikrein 1 (KLK1), also known as tissue kallikrein, is a member of human tissue kallikrein family (1). The best known physiological function of KLK1 is the cleavage of kininogen to release the vasoactive kinin peptide (bradykinin or lysyl-bradykinin), which regulates vasodilation, blood pressure reduction, smooth muscle relaxation and contraction, pain induction and inflammation (2). In addition, KLK1 may play a role in angiogensis and tumorigenesis (2). Human KLK1 precursor contains a signal peptide (residues1 to 18), a short pro peptide (residues 19 to 24) and a mature chain (residues 25 to 262). The purified rhKLK1 contains the mature chain and the propeptide from human KLK5. After being activated by thermolysin, rhKLK1 is active against a fluorogenic peptide substrate described above.
