Kininogen 1 Antibody recognizes KNG1, a plasma glycoprotein involved in coagulation, inflammation, and vascular regulation. The KNG1 gene encodes high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK) and low molecular weight kininogen (LMWK), two alternatively spliced proteins that share an extensive N-terminal region but differ in their C-terminal domains. Kininogens are synthesized predominantly in the liver and released into circulation, where they participate in proteolytic pathways regulating blood vessel function and inflammatory responses. Both isoforms contain cystatin-like domains, while HMWK has additional regions that support interactions with components of the plasma contact activation system.
High molecular weight kininogen functions as a cofactor for the assembly of prekallikrein and coagulation factor XI on negatively charged surfaces. During contact system activation, plasma kallikrein cleaves HMWK to release bradykinin, a nine-amino-acid peptide that promotes vasodilation, increases vascular permeability, and contributes to inflammatory signaling. Low molecular weight kininogen also serves as a kinin precursor but differs in its interactions with contact system proteins. These processes connect KNG1 activity with coagulation, endothelial function, and the regulation of inflammatory mediators.
Mouse models are widely used to investigate the kallikrein-kinin system and its involvement in vascular inflammation, thrombosis, and hereditary angioedema. Studies involving Kng1-deficient mice have helped clarify the contribution of kininogen to contact activation, bradykinin production, and inflammatory responses. KNG1 has also attracted attention in research examining ischemia-reperfusion injury, vascular permeability, and interactions between coagulation and innate immunity. Altered kininogen expression or proteolytic processing may influence disease-associated inflammatory pathways.
Because kininogen is a secreted plasma protein, its detection in tissues may reflect local synthesis, circulating protein, or deposition within the extracellular environment. Glycosylation and proteolytic cleavage can also influence the molecular weight of detected KNG1 species. NSJ Bioreagents offers a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against a mouse KNG1 peptide corresponding to the sequence ECRGNLFMDINNKIANFSQSCTLYSGDDLVEAL. A Kininogen 1 Antibody provides a useful tool for investigating mouse kininogen expression, contact system activity, and the relationship between coagulation and inflammation.

Optimal dilution of the Kininogen 1 Antibody / Mouse KNG1 Polyclonal Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Amino acids ECRGNLFMDINNKIANFSQSCTLYSGDDLVEAL of the mosue protein were used as the immunogen for the Kininogen 1 Antibody.
After reconstitution, the Kininogen 1 Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
