WHAT DOES KALLIKREIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Kallikrein

Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases, enzymes capable of cleaving peptide bonds in proteins. In humans, plasma kallikrein has no known homologue, while tissue kallikrein-related peptidases encode a family of fifteen closely related serine proteases. These genes are localised to chromosome 19q13, forming the largest contiguous cluster of proteases within the human genome. Kallikreins are responsible for the coordination of various physiological functions including blood pressure, semen liquefaction and skin desquamation.

Definition of kallikrein in the English dictionary

The definition of kallikrein in the dictionary is a type of protease that liberates kinins from kininogens.
