  • Fletcher Factor
  • Kallikreinogen
  • Plasma Prokallikrein
  • Prokallikrein, Plasma

Scope note

  • A plasma protein which is the precursor of kallikrein. Plasma that is deficient in prekallikrein has been found to be abnormal in thromboplastin formation, kinin generation, evolution of a permeability globulin, and plasmin formation. The absence of prekallikrein in plasma leads to Fletcher factor deficiency, a congenital disease.

History note

  • 89(76); was see under KALLIKREINS 1976-88
