The extraction of human urinary kinin (substance z) and its relation to the plasma kinins

Abstract

Human urinary kinin (substance Z) has been extracted by modifications of the methods previously described by Gomes (1955) and Jensen (1958). The separation of two oxytocic fractions from such extracts by paper pulp chromatography (Walaszek, 1957; Jensen, 1958) could not be confirmed. Substance Z could not be distinguished from kallidin, bradykinin or glass-activated kinin by parallel quantitative assays, thus confirming that these four substances are very closely related.
