- High-molecular-weight kininogen
High-molecular-weight kininogen (HMWK), also known as the Williams-Fitzgerald-Flaujeac factor or the Fitzgerald factor or the HMWK-kallikrein factor, is a
protein from the blood coagulation system as well as thekinin-kallikrein system . It is a protein that adsorbs to the surface ofbiomaterials that come in contact with blood in vivo. This protein circulates throughout the blood and quickly adsorbs to the material surfaces.Nomenclature
High-molecular weight kininogen is one of the
kininogen s, a class of proteins. As with many other coagulation proteins, the protein was initially named after the patients in whom deficiency was first observed. When the clinical data were combined, it turned out that all patients, in fact, had a deficiency of the same protein.Physiology
HMWK is one of the early participants of the "intrinsic pathway" of coagulation, together with Factor XII (Hageman factor) and
prekallikrein . It is 626amino acid s long, and weighs 88 to 120 kDa (dependent onglycosylation ). The kininogen is not enzymatically active, and functions only as a cofactor for the activation ofkallikrein and Hageman factor. It is also necessary for the activation of factor XI by factor XIIa. Thehistidine -rich region (amino acids 420 to 510) participates most strongly in coagulation.In addition to its role in blood coagulation, HMWK (just as
Low-molecular-weight kininogen ) is a strong inhibitor of cysteine proteinases. Responsible for this activity are three related domains on its heavy chain (Higashiyama et al., Biochemistry 25, 1669-75 (1986)).HMWK is also a precursor of
bradykinin ; thisvasodilator substance is released through positive feedback bykallikrein .Genetics
The
gene for both types ofkininogen s is located on the 3rdchromosome (3q27).Measurement
Measurement of HMWK is usually done with mixing studies, where plasma deficient in HMWK is mixed with the patient's sample and the PTT determined. Results are expressed in % of normal - values under 60% or over 140% are abnormal.
Role in disease
The existence of HMWK was hypothesised in the 1970s when several patients were described with a deficiency of a class of plasma protein and a prolonged
bleeding time andpartial thromboplastin time (PTT). As in deficiency of the associatedHageman factor , there is no increased risk of bleeding.External links
