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.
