Method for measurement of human urinary kininase activity

Adv Exp Med Biol. 1979:120A:143-5. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4757-0926-1_14.

Abstract

A method was developed to measure kininase activity in human urine. The method consists of dialysis of human centrifuged urine sample against phosphate buffer and partial fractionation of A-50 Sephadex column. The enzymatic property of urinary kininase, which destroys bradykinin when incubated, is estimated from its effect on a definite amount of bradykinin, using rat uterus.
