Kringle domain

Kringle Domains are autonomous protein domains that fold into large loops stabilized by 3 disulfide linkages. These are important in protein-protein interactions with blood coagulation factors. The name Kringle comes from the Scandinavian pastry that these structures resemble.

Kringle domains have been found in plasminogen, hepatocyte growth factors, prothrombin, and apolipoprotein(a).

Kringles are found throughout the blood clotting and fibrinolytic proteins. Kringle domains are believed to play a role in binding mediators (e.g., membranes, other proteins or phospholipids), and in the regulation of proteolytic activitycite journal |author=Fujikawa K, McMullen BA |title=Amino acid sequence of the heavy chain of human alpha-factor XIIa (activated Hageman factor) |journal=J.

They are found in a varying number of copies in some plasma proteins including prothrombin and urokinase-type plasminogenactivator, which are serine proteases belonging to MEROPS peptidase family S1A.
