Target (abbrv.) Kininogen, HMW

Entrez Gene Symbol KNG1
UniProt ID P01042
UniProt Comment
  • (1) Kininogens are inhibitors of thiol proteases; (2) HMW-kininogen plays an important role in blood coagulation by helping to position optimally prekallikrein and factor XI next to factor XII; (3) HMW-kininogen inhibits the thrombin- and plasmin-induced aggregation of thrombocytes; (4) the active peptide bradykinin that is released from HMW-kininogen shows a variety of physiological effects: (4A) influence in smooth muscle contraction, (4B) induction of hypotension, (4C) natriuresis and diuresis, (4D) decrease in blood glucose level, (4E) it is a mediator of inflammation and causes (4E1) increase in vascular permeability, (4E2) stimulation of nociceptors (4E3) release of other mediators of inflammation (e.g. prostaglandins), (4F) it has a cardioprotective effect (directly via bradykinin action, indirectly via endothelium-derived relaxing factor action); (5) LMW-kininogen inhibits the aggregation of thrombocytes; (6) LMW-kininogen is in contrast to HMW-kininogen not involved in blood clotting.

Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL011770 (4237-70_3)
Entrez Gene Symbol LCMT1
UniProt ID Q9UIC8
UniProt Comment
  • Methylates the carboxyl group of the C-terminal leucine residue of protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunits to form alpha-leucine ester residues.

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs2304456) and 3 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.

Co-association of KNG1 and LCMT1 suggests a possible link between the kininogen/bradykinin and the PP2A pathways.

This locus harbours a replicated trans-association with Leucine carboxyl methyltransferase 1 (LCMT1) and a cis-association with Kininogen-1 (KNG1). LCMT1 methylates Human protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), a key regulator of many cellular processes, and a potential cancer-therapeutic target.

The information gathered here is a result of an attempt to keep track of all interesting information that we encountered while investigating these loci. Please bear in mind that the annotation given here is neither complete nor free of errors, and that all information provided here should be confirmed by additional literature research before being used as a basis for firm conclusions or further experiments.
