Plasma Kallikrein 1B

Function

Participates in the surface-dependent activation of blood coagulation. Activates, in a reciprocal reaction, coagulation factor XII/F12 after binding to negatively charged surfaces. Releases bradykinin from HMW kininogen and may also play a role in the renin-angiotensin system by converting prorenin into renin.

Involvement in disease

Prekallikrein deficiency

PKKD
