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.
Unit Definition
One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of Nα-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE) to Nα-benzoyl-L-arginine and ethanol per min at pH 8.7 at 25°C.

A new assay is described that monitors hydrolysis with the concurrent transfer of a solvatochromic dye across an oil-water barrier. Through the appropriate design, this transfer is accompanied by a 10(6) gain in fluorescence. This response can be used to

Activation of matrix metalloproteinase zymogen (pro-MMP) is a vital homeostatic process, yet its molecular basis remains unresolved. Using stopped-flow X-ray spectroscopy of the active site zinc ion, we determined the temporal sequence of pro-MMP-9 activation catalyzed by tissue kallikrein protease
