Inhibition profiles of human tissue kallikreins by serine protease inhibitors
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
Accumulated evidence has shown that human tissue kallikreins (hKs), a group of 15 homologous secreted serine proteases, are novel cancer biomarkers. We report here the inhibition profiles of selected hKs, including hK5, hK7, hK8, hK11, hK12, hK13, and hK14, by several common serine protease inhibitors (serpins) found in plasma. The association constants for the binding of serpins to kallikreins were determined...
