General description
Kallikrein exists as an inactive prokallikrein in the porcine pancreas. The porcine kallikrein gene region is localized on chromosome 6q12-q21.
Application
Kallikrein from porcine pancreas has been used:
- as a matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) zymogen activator
- as a component of cell culture to test its effect on rat subventricular zone (SVZ) cells and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC) proliferation and survival
- as a model enzyme to track kinetic data and visual detection limits of hydrolysis by hydrolytic enzymes in the two-phases array
Biochem/physiol Actions
Kallikrein active forms are generated by the enzymatic action of trypsin. It is a serine protease that mediates the activation of growth factors and substrates.
