Figure 1From: Examination of genetic variants involved in generation and biodisposition of kinins in patients with angioedemaThe 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.Back to article page
