1. A kallikrein-like enzyme in plasma of patients with acute pancreatitis was further purified by successive hydroxyapatite/cellulose and Sepharose-4B column chromatography. 2. By these procedures 0.26 mg of purified enzyme with a specific activity of 215 S-2266 chromozyme units/mg of protein was obtained from 10 ml of original plasma. 3. The purified material was homogeneous as ascertained by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and had an apparent molecular weight of 31 000 as measured by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. 4. It was confirmed immunologically that this enzyme was pancreatic kallikrein, which is distinct from plasma kallikrein, and that it could combine with α2-macroglobulin only in the presence of trypsin.

An alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M)-like proteinase inhibitor from plasma of the crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus was purified to apparent homogeneity by acid precipitation, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, affinity chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose and anion-exchange chromatography. The subunit Mr is about 190,000. Pore-size-limit electrophoresis proved the native protein to be a dimer. The purified protein resembled vertebrate alpha 2 Ms in that it protected trypsin from inhibition by soyabean trypsin inhibitor, and in its sensitivity to methylamine treatment. Methylamine also prevented the protein from being autolytically cleaved into Mr 60,000 and 140,000 fragments when subjected to heat treatment. The amino acid composition showed similarities with both human alpha 2 M and an alpha 2 M-like protein from the arthropod Limulus polyphemus. These data indicate that this Pacifastacus alpha 2M-like protein (P alpha 2M) may be a distantly related homologue of vertebrate alpha 2Ms.
