Factor XII (FXII) is a 80 kDa zymogen found at a concentration of 0.375 uM in plasma, and upon activation by kallikrein at R353, a disulfide-linked two chain molecule called factor XIIa alpha (FXIIa) is generated. FXIIa is also capable of autoactivation by binding to negatively charged surfaces (1). Kallikrein can also cleave other scissile bonds in FXIIa alpha outside of the catalytic domain at R334, R343, and R353, generating FXIIa beta, a 30 kDa enzyme that is no longer able to bind to surfaces, and which activates prekallikrein (PK) to kallikrein, using high molecular weight kininogen (HK) as a cofactor (2, 3). FXIIa is irreversibly inhibited by C-1 inhibitor (C1INH), a 105 kDa plasma SERPIN (4-6). Is this molecule inhibitor of FXII?
