Descriptor cininógenos
Entry term(s) quininógenos
Scope note: Péptidos endógenos presentes en la mayoría de los líquidos corporales. Ciertas enzimas los convierten en CININAS activas que intervienen en la inflamación, coagulación sanguínea, reacciones del complemento, etc. Los cininógenos pertenecen a la superfamilia de las cistatinas. Son inhibidores de la cisteína proteinasa. El CININÓGENO DE ALTO PESO MOLECULAR (HMWK) es escindido por la calicreína del plasma para producir BRADICININA. El CININÓGENO DE BAJO PESO MOLECULAR es escindido por la calicreína tisular produciendo CALIDINA.

Scope note: Endogenous peptides present in most body fluids. Certain enzymes convert them to active KININS which are involved in inflammation, blood clotting, complement reactions, etc. Kininogens belong to the cystatin superfamily. They are cysteine proteinase inhibitors. HIGH-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT KININOGEN; (HMWK); is split by plasma kallikrein to produce BRADYKININ. LOW-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT KININOGEN; (LMWK); is split by tissue kallikrein to produce KALLIDIN.
