Kallikrein type serine proteases, KLK8/neuropsin, KLK6, and KLK7, have been implicated in the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes and in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. However, their mechanistic roles in these processes remain largely unknown. We applied 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate on the wild type (WT) and the Klk8 gene-disrupted (Klk8(-/-)) mouse skin, inducing keratinocyte...
