KLK7 - kallikrein related peptidase 7 Gene
Also Known as hK7; SCCE; PRSS6
Species: Homo sapiens
About KLK7
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 107 orthologues and 12 paralogues. Biased expression in skin (RPKM 68.1) and esophagus (RPKM 25.3).
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the Kallikrein subfamily of serine proteases. These Enzymes have diverse physiological functions and many Kallikrein genes are biomarkers for Cancer. The encoded protein has chymotrypsin-like activity and plays a role in the proteolysis of intercellular cohesive structures that precedes desquamation, the shedding of the outermost layer of the epidermis. The encoded protein may play a role in Cancer invasion and metastasis, and increased expression of this gene is associated with unfavorable prognosis and progression of several types of Cancer. Polymorphisms in this gene may play a role in the development of atopic dermatitis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene, which is one of fifteen Kallikrein subfamily members located in a gene cluster on chromosome 19.
