Definition
English
:
A
plasma
protein,
molecular weight
of 110 kD, that normally exists in
plasma
in a 1:1 complex with
PREKALLIKREIN
. HMWK is split by
plasma kallikrein
to produce
BRADYKININ
. The complex is a cofactor in the activation of coagulation
factor XII
. The product of this reaction, XIIa, in turn activates
prekallikrein
to
KALLIKREINS
. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
