C1-inhibitor is the only known inhibitor of the classical pathway of
complement and the major inhibitor of the contact pathway of coagulation.
Like other serine proteinase inhibitors, C1-inhibitor can exist in three
conformations, ie, the native, the proteinase-complexed, and the
proteolytically inactivated form. Here we studied the plasma elimination
kinetics of these three forms of human C1-inhibitor in rats. The clearance
of the complexed form of C1-inhibitor appeared to be the most rapid and
depended in part on the proteinase involved (observed plasma t1/2 was 20
minutes for C1s-C1-inhibitor, 32 minutes for kallikrein-C1-inhibitor, and
47 minutes for beta XIIa-C1- inhibitor), whereas that of native
C1-inhibitor was the slowest (observed plasma t1/2 4.5 hours). Inactivated
C1-inhibitor was cleared with an apparent plasma t1/2 of 1.6 hours. Thus,
the short plasma t1/2 of complexed relative to native C1-inhibitor explains
why in patients only low concentrations of C1-inhibitor complexes may be
observed despite activation of the contact and/or complement systems.
