The fibrinolytic and contact pathways demonstrating the generation and catabolism of bradykinin, which clinically may present as angioedema. HMWK, high molecular weight kininogen; tPA, tissue plasminogen activator; uPA, urokinase-like plasminogen activator; PAI-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1; FXII, factor XII; ACE, angiotensin converting enzyme; APP, aminopeptidase P; APM, aminopeptidase M. The effect of C1inh was not included. //, blocked by C1-INH, C1 inhibitor; X, negative regulation.
