Kallikrein-related peptidase (KLK) family mRNA variants and protein isoforms in hormone-related cancers: do they have a function?

Biological chemistry - 1 Jun 2006

Tan Olivia L, Whitbread Astrid K, Clements Judith A, Dong Ying

Abstract excerpt

The kallikrein-related peptidase (KLK) gene family of 15 serine proteases encodes many proteins, including prostate specific antigen (PSA or KLK3), that are well described and/or are potential biomarkers for hormone-related cancers. Variant mRNA transcripts produced by alternative splicing, polyadenylation or AUG sites, or intron retention have been found for each of the KLK genes. The predicted protein for many...
