Tissue kallikrein, a widely used vasodilator for the treatment of hypertension and peripheral circulatory disorder, acts by releasing kinin, a potent vasodilator peptide. To identify the role of tissue kallikrein in retinal neovascularization, we investigated the antiangiogenic effect by using an in vitro and in vivo angiogenesis model.
