High molecular weight kininogen, the extracellular inhibitor of thiol proteases, is deficient in hamsters with muscular dystrophy

High molecular weight kininogen has been shown to be the principal plasma inhibitor of cellular thiol proteases including cathepsins B, H and L and calpains 1 and 2. Since these same enzymes have been reported to be elevated in animals with muscular dystrophy, we studied plasmas from hamsters with m...
