Human plasma contains at least two distinct forms of kininogen, the carrier molecule of bradykinin, which can be distinguished by their physical, chemical and immunochemical properties.
They are designated high-molecular-weight kininogen (HMWK) and low-molecular weight kininogen (LMWK).
HMWK (MW 110000) and LMWK (MW 50000) both liberate bradykinin following the action of kallikrein.
HMWK circulates as a non-enzymatic factor that is central to contact activation reactions.
LMWK plays no known role in the activation of coagulation.
Normal adult plasma levels are 7mg/100ml for HMWK as determined by electroimmunodiffusion and 9mg/100ml based on haemagglutination inhibition assays and RIA.
Low plasma kininogen levels are seen in newborn and pre-term infants.
HMWK is absent in congenital kininogen deficiency of the named affected families Fitzgerald and Reid; Williams and Flaujeac lack both HMWK and LMWK.
The condition is associated with the decreased fibrinolytic activity and kinin formation but is asymptomatic.
