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

Oral formulation of tissue kallikrein consists primarily of porcine pancreatic kallikrein (PPK) and is used to improve peripheral circulation, menopausal symptoms, and impaired chorioretinal circulation. Although gastrointestinal absorption of tissue kallikrein after oral administration has been reported in nonclinical and
