Kininogen-1 (KNG1), also known as alpha-2-thiol proteinase inhibitor, Williams-Fitzgerald-Flaujeac factor or the HMWK-kallikrein factor, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KNG1 gene.[1]

Function

The KNG1 gene uses alternative splicing to generate two different proteins- high-molecular-weight kininogen (HMWK) and low-molecular-weight kininogen (LMWK). HMWK is essential for blood coagulation and assembly of the kallikrein-kinin system. Also, bradykinin, a peptide causing numerous physiological effects, is released from HMWK. In contrast to HMWK, LMWK is not involved in blood coagulation. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[1]

Kininogen-1 is a constituent of the blood coagulation system as well as the kinin-kallikrein system.
