Renal gene expression profiling using kinin B1 and B2 receptor knockout mice reveals comparable modulation of functionally related genes

The kinin B2 receptor, which is constitutively expressed in a large number of tissues, mediates most of the known effects of bradykinin (BK)...

Keywords: bradykinin receptor, kidney, knockout mice, microarray

Cross-talk of the renin-angiotensin and kallikrein-kinin systems

The renin-angiotensin (RAS) and kallikrein-kinin (KKS) systems play a key role in multiple physiological and pathophysiological conditions, including growth and development, inflammation, blood pressure regulation and control of renal function...

Keywords: angiotensin, angiotensin-converting enzyme, development, kidney, kinins, receptors

Cellular expression of plasma prekallikrein in human tissues

Plasma prekallikrein (PPK) is synthesised in hepatocytes and secreted into the blood, where it participates in the surface-dependent activation of blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, kinin generation and inflammation...

Keywords: cellular functions of plasma prekallikrein, kidney, KLKB1, pancreas, plasma kallikrein, plasma prekallikrein

Effect of prolonged physical exercise on urinary proANP1-30 and proANP31-67

Dynamic exercise strongly affects atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP), in particular the mature bioactive ?ANP and the proANP fragments, namely proANP1–98, proANP1–30 and proANP31–67...

Keywords: atrial natriuretic peptide, kidney, physical exercise, proteinuria

Urinary cystatin C as a specific marker of tubular dysfunction

Background: Cystatin C (CST3), a strong inhibitor of cysteine proteinases, is freely filtered by the kidney glomerulus and is reabsorbed by the tubules, where it is almost totally catabolized, with the remainder then eliminated in urine...

Keywords: cystatin C, kidney, tubular marker, tubulopathy, urine

Human butyrylcholinesterase components differ in aryl acylamidase activity

Apart from its esterase activity, butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) displays aryl acylamidase (AAA) activity able to hydrolyze o-nitroacetanilide (ONA) and its trifluoro-derivative (F-ONA)...

Keywords: blood serum, cholinesterases, colon, human, kidney

Differential expression of ?-aminobutyric acid receptor A (GABAA) and effects of homocysteine

Background: ?-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a known inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system, and homocysteine (Hcy) behaves as an antagonist for GABAA receptor...
