General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function tissue kallikrein has antioxidant characteristics and is capable of alleviating ischemia-acidosis/reperfusion-induced injury, inhibiting apoptosis and promoting cell survival in vitro: pretreatment of cultured cortical neurons from rats with tissue kallikrein reduces cell death induced by either acidosis or oxygen and glucose deprivation-acidosis/reoxygenation. It exerts the neuroprotective effects by reducing production of reactive oxygen species, stabilizing the mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibiting caspase-3 activation, and thereby attenuating oxidative stress and apoptosis. Activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 signaling cascade but not the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is required for the survival-promoting effect of tissue kallikrein on neurons exposed to oxygen and glucose deprivation-acidosis/reoxygenation Homo sapiens
