== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/KLKB1_HUMAN KLKB1_HUMAN] Defects in KLKB1 are the cause of prekallikrein deficiency (PKK deficiency) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/612423 612423]; also known as Fletcher factor deficiency. This disorder is a blood coagulation defect.
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/KLKB1_HUMAN KLKB1_HUMAN] The enzyme cleaves Lys-Arg and Arg-Ser bonds. It activates, in a reciprocal reaction, factor XII after its binding to a negatively charged surface. It also releases bradykinin from HMW kininogen and may also play a role in the renin-angiotensin system by converting prorenin into renin.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Plasma kallikrein (pKal) proteolytically cleaves high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK) to generate the potent vasodilator, and pro-inflammatory peptide, bradykinin. pKal activity is tightly regulated in healthy individuals by the serpin C1-Inhibitor (C1-INH), but individuals with hereditary angioedema (HAE) are deficient in C1-INH and consequently exhibit excessive bradykinin generation that in turn causes debilitating and potentially fatal swelling attacks. To develop a potential therapeutic agent for HAE and other pKal-mediated disorders, we used phage display to discover a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody (DX-2930) against pKal. In vitro experiments demonstrated that DX-2930 potently inhibits active pKal (Ki = 0.120 +/- 0.005 nM), but does not target either the zymogen (prekallikrein) or any other serine protease tested. These findings are supported by a 2.1 angstrom resolution crystal structure of pKal complexed to a DX-2930 Fab construct, which establishes that the pKal active site is fully occluded by the antibody. DX-2930 injected subcutaneously into cynomolgus monkeys exhibited a long half-life (t1/2 ~ 12.5 days) and blocked HMWK proteolysis in activated plasma in a dose and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, subcutaneous DX-2930 reduced carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. A potent and long acting inhibitor of pKal activity could be an effective treatment option for pKal-mediated diseases, such as HAE.
