This flashcard describes C1 inhibitor (C1INH), a protein that inactivates C1r:C1s enzymatic activity. A deficiency in C1INH leads to hereditary angioedema due to vasoactive peptides causing swelling.
Un inhibidor proteico del C1 que se une e inactiva la actividad enzimática de C1r:C1s. La deficiencia de este inhibidor provoca angioedema hereditario debido a la producción de péptidos vasoactivos que causan hinchazón subcutánea y laríngea.
| Front | An inhibitor protein for C1 that binds and inactivates C1r:C1s enzymatic activity. Deficiency in this inhibitor protein causes hereditary angioedema through production of vasoactive peptides that cause subcutaneous and laryngeal swelling |
