Kininogen 1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His Tag)

Kininogen-1, also known as high molecular weight kininogen, Williams-Fitzgerald-Flaujeac factor, Alpha-2-thiol proteinase inhibitor, Fitzgerald factor, KNG1, and BDK, is a secreted protein that contains three cystatin domains. Kininogen-1 / KNG1 is a protein from the blood coagulation system as well as the kinin-kallikrein system. It is a protein that adsorbs to the surface of biomaterials that come in contact with blood. Kininogen-1 / KNG1 circulates throughout the blood and quickly adsorbs to the material surfaces. Kininogen-1 / KNG1 is one of the early participants of the intrinsic pathway of coagulation, together with Factor XII (Hageman factor) and prekallikrein. Kininogen-1 / KNG1 is one of the kininogens, 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 had a deficiency of the same protein. Defects in KNG1 are the cause of high molecular weight kininogen deficiency (HMWK deficiency) which is an autosomal recessive coagulation defect. Patients with HWMK deficiency do not have a hemorrhagic tendency, but they exhibit abnormal surface-mediated activation of fibrinolysis.

Measured by its ability to inhibit papain cleavage of a fluorogenic peptide substrate Z-FR-AMC, R&D Systems, Catalog # ES009. The IC50 value is < 7 nM.

Lyophilized from sterile 25mM Tris, 100mM NaCl, pH 7.5 Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

The recombinant human KNG1 consists of 637 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 71.3 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rhKNG1 is approximately 100-110 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

A DNA sequence encoding the human KNG1 isoform 1 (NP_001095886.1) (Gln 19-Ser 644) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus, and a signal peptide at the N-terminus.
