Kininase

Kininase is the general name for enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of kinin in the human body. Kinins are a group of biologically active peptides that are involved in the regulation of various physiological processes such as blood circulation, inflammation, immune system, etc.

Kininase is an important enzyme that plays an important role in regulating the function of kinins. Kininases can be divided into two main groups: kininase II, which catalyzes the breakdown of bradykinin and other kinins, and kininase I, which is involved in the breakdown of other peptides.

Kinin is broken down by kininase, which breaks the peptide bond between two amino acids. This leads to the fact that kinin loses its activity and can no longer participate in the regulation of body functions.

In the human body, kininase can be found in various tissues and organs. For example, in the blood, kininase is found mainly in blood plasma, and in tissues - in smooth muscle cells, nerve endings and other tissues.

In addition, kininase plays an important role in the development of inflammatory processes. During inflammation, the level of kinins increases, and kininase activity is required to destroy them. Therefore, kininase inhibition may be useful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and others.

Thus, kininase is an important enzyme that is involved in the breakdown of kinins and the regulation of functions of the human body. The study of kininases and their roles in physiology and pathology may lead to new treatments for various diseases.

Kinins are a group of biologically active substances that are involved in the regulation of various processes in the human and animal body. They are formed as a result of the breakdown of other proteins, such as bradykinin, which is a major component of the blood pressure regulation system. However, kinins can be dangerous to the body if their levels become too high. In this case, their natural decomposition with the help of kinase is necessary
