| UniProt functional annotation for P03952 | |||
| UniProt code: P03952. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | The enzyme cleaves Lys-Arg and Arg-Ser bonds. It activates, in a reciprocal reaction, factor XII after its binding to a negatively charged surface. It also releases bradykinin from HMW kininogen and may also play a role in the renin-angiotensin system by converting prorenin into renin. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Cleaves selectively Arg-|-Xaa and Lys-|-Xaa bonds, including Lys-|-Arg and Arg-|-Ser bonds in (human) kininogen to release bradykinin.; EC=3.4.21.34; | |
| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by SERPINA5. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2844223}. | |
| Subunit: | Forms a heterodimer with SERPINA5. The zymogen is activated by factor XIIa, which cleaves the molecule into a light chain, which contains the active site, and a heavy chain, which associates with HMW kininogen. These chains are linked by one or more disulfide bonds. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Disease: | Prekallikrein deficiency (PKK deficiency) [MIM:612423]: This disorder is a blood coagulation defect. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14652634, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17598838}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Plasma kallikrein subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00274}. | |
