a plasma protein that is the proenzyme of plasma kallikrein. It is cleaved to its active enzyme form by activated coagulation factor XII.

prekallikrein [pre-kal″ĭ-kre´in]

a plasma protein that is the proenzyme of plasma kallikrein; it is cleaved to its active enzyme form by activated coagulation factor XII.

prekallikrein,

n a plasma protein that is the precursor of kallikrein. Plasma that is deficient in prekallikrein has been found to be abnormal in thromboplastin formation, kinin generation, evolution of a permeability globulin, and plasmin formation. Prekallikrein deficiency leads to Fletcher factor deficiency, a congenital disease.

prekallikrein

fletcher factor in blood coagulation. Precursor of plasma kallikrein which circulates in the blood. Acts in the initiation of intrinsic coagulation.
