Human Kallikrein 2 (hK2) and Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA): Two Closely Related, but Distinct, Kallikreins in the Prostate

1 Jan 1998

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies on human kallikrein 2 (hK2) have revealed striking similarities and significant differences with the closely related kallikrein PSA. Both PSA and hK2 are primarily localized to the prostate and share close structural similarities. Although both kallikreins are produced by the same secretory epithelial cells in the prostate, hK2 is associated more with prostate tumors than PSA and is highly...
