Abstract excerpt
The kallikrein related peptidase gene family (KLKs) comprises 15 genes located between 19q13.3-13.4. KLKs have chymotrypsin and/or trypsin like activity, but the tissue/organ expression profile of each KLK varies considerably. Thus, the role of KLKs in human biology is also very diverse, and the deregulation of their function results in a wide-range of diseases. Here, we have cataloged the transcript (variants...
