The physiology and pathobiology of human kallikrein-related peptidase 6 (KLK6).

Clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine - 3 Nov 2011

Bayani Jane, Diamandis Eleftherios P

Abstract excerpt

The human kallikrein-related peptidase 6 (KLK6) gene belongs to the 15-member kallikrein (KLK) gene family mapping to chromosome 19q13.3-13.4. Encoding for an enzyme with trypsin-like properties, KLK6 can degrade components of the extracellular matrix. The successful utilisation of another KLK member (KLK3/PSA) for prostate cancer diagnosis has led many to evaluate KLK6 as a potential biomarker for other cancer...
