The kallikrein-kinin system is a "system of metabolic interactions by products produced in the distal nephron of the kidney. These products include kallikrein; kinins; kininase I; kininase II; and enkephalinase. This system participates in the control of renal functions. It interacts with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system to regulate blood pressure, generation of prostaglandins, release of vasopressins, and water-electrolyte balance"[1]
Components and mechanisms
Kallikreins are serine endopeptidase (proteases) that act on kininogens to form the kinins bradykinin and kalidin.[2] There are three types of kallikreins:
- Tissue kallikrein
- Plasma kallikrein activates Factor XII to initiate the instrinsic pathway of coagulation.
- Prostate-specific antigen
Kininase I and kininase II inactivate bradykinin and kalidin.[3] Kininase II, formally called peptidyl-dipeptidase A, is the same enzyme as angiotensin converting enzyme.
