    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • four homologous repeats,D1,D2,D3 cysteine proteinase inhibitor-like and D4 releasing bradykinin or lys-bradykinin
  • a D5 surface binding D5(H), that may modulate likely cell adhesion and invasion together with ACTN4, and inhibits collagen-mediated cancer cell adhesion and invasion in association with ACTN4
  • a D6 binding site for kallikrein or factor XI (F11)
  • conjugated GlycoP
    isoforms Precursor coding for high molecular (HD,110kDa) and low molecular weight (LW,65kDa) kininogene

    FAMILY
  • cystatin superfamily
  • CATEGORY enzyme
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular
    text secreted protein
    basic FUNCTION
  • contact activation pathway
  • cysteine proteinase inhibitor
  • inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis through domain D5
  • may be involved in smooth muscle contraction, natriuresis, diuresis, inflammatory response, positive regulation of apoptosis
  • antimicrobial activity of the heparin-binding and cell-binding domain 5 of high molecular weight kininogen
  • playing an essential role in prevention of metastasis of cancer cells
  • inhibits ERK-dependent T cell proliferation, and these observations may have a possible role in immunosenescence (Acuna-Castillo 2005)
  • acts as an important signal directing the invasion of glioma cells toward blood vessels (
  • multiple functions, including the regulation of coagulation

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • ion Zn2+ binding
  • protein
  • interacting with urokinase plasminogen activator receptor
  • neutrophil-derived PRTN3 can proteolyze KNG1 and liberate PRTN3-kinin, thereby initiating kallikrein-independent activation of the kinin pathway
  • cell & other
