Gene: [04q35/KLK3] kallikrein 3, plasma (Fletcher factor); Fletcher factor deficiency (plasma kallikrein deficiency);
COM | The KLK3 gene was mapped to Chr 4q35 by in situ hybridization (Beaubien-1991). |
PAT | DeLa Cadena-1995 reported studies of a 9-year-old patient with markedly prolonged APTT but normal prothrombin time and bleeding time and also reviewed the role of prekallikrein in thrombosis." |
FUN | [1] Plasma
kallikrein is a serine protease that, among other roles, plays a part in
blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, and complement activation. These events
may be mediated through protein substrates (e.g. see GEM:03p/ITIH4) produced by partial proteolysis by
KLK3. [2] Plasma prekallikrein, also known as Fletcher factor (Mr 88,000), and factor XI (GEM:04q35/F11) are zymogens of 2 distinct serine proteinases present in normal plasma." |
