NCIt definition : Human KLKB1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 4q35 and is approximately
49 kb in length. This allele, which encodes plasma kallikrein protein, is involved
in the regulation of proteolysis, blood coagulation, fibrinolysis and inflammation.
Mutation of the gene is associated with a blood coagulation disorder arising from
prekallikrein deficiency.;
NCIt note : Plasma kallikrein may be involved in Diabetes-related stroke risk. (Nature Medicine,
2011; 17: 206-210.);
