Preferred Label : kallikreins;
MeSH definition : Proteolytic enzymes from the serine endopeptidase family found in normal blood and
urine. Specifically, Kallikreins are potent vasodilators and hypotensives and increase
vascular permeability and affect smooth muscle. They act as infertility agents in
men. Three forms are recognized, PLASMA KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.34), TISSUE KALLIKREIN
(EC 3.4.21.35), and PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (EC 3.4.21.77).;
