Kininase I (EC 3.4.17.3) activity has been determined in human fluids and tissues of the urogenital tract. Benzoyl-glycyl-L-arginine and benzoyl-glycyl-L-lysine were used as substrates. The cleaved benzoyl-glycine was measured by means of high performance liquid chromatography. Results obtained showed a high enzymatic activity for kidney cortex. Normal prostate, benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic adenocarcinoma showed similar enzymic values. The activity of kininase I was higher in normal serum than in the tissues studied.
