Tissue kallikrein (, ''glandular kallikrein'', ''pancreatic kallikrein'', ''submandibular kallikrein'', ''submaxillary kallikrein'', ''kidney kallikrein'', ''urinary kallikrein'', ''
kallikrein'', ''salivary kallikrein'', ''kininogenin'', ''kininogenase'', ''callicrein'', ''glumorin'', ''padreatin'', ''padutin'', ''kallidinogenase'', ''bradykininogenase'', ''depot-padutin'', ''urokallikrein'', ''dilminal D'', ''onokrein P'') is an
enzyme.
This enzyme
catalyses the following
chemical reaction
: Preferential cleavage of Arg- bonds in small molecule substrates. It acts highly selectively to release
kallidin (lysyl-bradykinin) from
kininogen
This enzyme is formed from tissue
prokallikrein by activation with
trypsin.
