Utility of Kallikrein-Related Peptidases (KLKs) as Cancer Biomarkers

8 Aug 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The human kallikrein-related peptidase (KLK) family consists of 15 highly conserved serine proteases, which are encoded by the largest uninterrupted cluster of protease genes in the human genome. To date, several members of the family have been reported as potential cancer biomarkers. Although primarily known for their biomarker value in prostate, ovarian, and breast cancers, more recent data suggest...
