Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
15059887 KLK4 has a unique structure and function compared with other members of the KLK family and may have a role in the biology and characterization of prostate cancer.
16800736 an investigation of its enzymatic properties regarding substrate preference, degradation of extracellular matrix proteins, and its inhibition by various inhibitors
16172196 Human kallikrein 4, in particular, and prostate specific antigen, have a functional role in the progression of prostate cancer through their promotion of tumour cell migration.
12077288 The demonstration that KLK4-specific CD4 T cells exist in the peripheral circulation of normal male donors supports the use of KLK4 in whole gene-, protein-, or peptide-based vaccine strategies against prostate cancer.
17221837 hK4 expression and interaction with both tumor cells and osteoblasts suggests a role for hK4 in prostate cancer bone metastasis
16322328 There are two major isoforms of hK4 (KLK4-254/hK4-254 and KLK4-205/hK4-205) expressed in prostate cancer with different regulatory and expression profiles that imply both secreted and novel nuclear roles.
17545602 KLK4 protein is significantly overexpressed in malignant prostate compared with normal prostate. KLK4 expression is predominantly in the nucleus of basal cells in the prostate epithelium in keeping with its distribution in prostate cancer cells in vitro.
15235027 A novel human kallikrein mutation associated with a rare autosomal recessive form of amelogenesis imperfecta.
16704423 Design of serpin fragments as highly specific inhibitors of human kallikrein 14.
16497155 Here we demonstrate uPAR is a target for tissue kallikrein 4[hK4], cleaved in the D1-D2 linker and D3 domain. hK4 may modulate tumor-associated uPA/uPAR activity by activating the pro-enzyme form of uPA or cleaving the cell surface-associated uPA receptor
