Evidence for the presence of a kininogen-like species in a case of total deficiency of low and high molecular weight kininogens
Provedor de dados: 56
Autores: Veloso,D.
Low and high molecular weight kininogens (LK and HK), containing 409 and 626 amino acids with masses of ~65 and 120 kDa after glycosylation, respectively, are coded by a single gene mapped to the human chromosome 3 by alternative splicing of the transcribed mRNA. The NH2-termini Glu1-Thr383 region, identical in LK and HK, contains bradykinin (BK) moieties Arg363-Arg371. LK, HK and their kinin products Lys-BK and BK are involved in several biologic processes. They are evolutionarily conserved and only 7 patients, all apparently normal, have been reported to lack them. In one of these patients (Williams' trait), a codon mutation (Arg178 &lt;FONT FACE="Symbol"&gt;®&lt;/FONT&gt; stop) has been blamed for the absence of LK and HK. However, using Western blots...
