MeSH Heading: Kallikreins
Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.656.300.760.442; D08.811.277.656.959.350.442; D12.776.124.125.597; D23.119.597
Unique ID: D007610
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D007610
Annotation: /antag permitted but consider KALLIKREIN-TRYPSIN INACTIVATOR
Scope Note: 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).
Entry Term(s): Callicrein; Dilminal; Kallidinogenase; Kalliginogenase; Kallikrein; Kallikrein A; Kallikrein B'; Kallikrein Light Chain; Kinin-Forming Enzyme; Kininogenase; Padutin; alpha-Kallikrein; beta-Kallikrein; beta-Kallikrein B
Pharm Action: Coagulants
Fertility Agents, Male
