The Expanded Human Kallikrein (KLK) Gene Family: Genomic Organisation, Tissue-Specific Expression and Potential Functions

6 Jan 2001

Abstract excerpt

The tissue kallikreins are serine proteases encoded by highly conserved multi-gene families. The rodent kallikrein (KLK) families are particularly large, consisting of 13-26 genes clustered in one chromosomal locus. It has been recently recognised that the human KLK gene family is of a similar size (15 genes) with the identification of another 12 related genes (KLK4-KLK15) within and adjacent to the original...
