Abstract excerpt
The tissue kallikreins (KLKs) form a family of serine proteases that are involved in processing of polypeptide precursors and have important roles in a variety of physiologic and pathological processes. Common features of all tissue kallikrein genes identified to date in various species include a similar genomic organization of five exons, a conserved triad of amino acids for serine protease catalytic activity,...
