Gene information for KLK13 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID26085
Official gene symbolKLK13
Full namekallikrein-related peptidase 13
Aliases,DKFZp586J1923,KLK-L4,KLKL4,
Gene summaryKallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases having diverse physiological functions. Growing evidence suggests that many kallikreins are implicated in carcinogenesis and some have potential as novel cancer and other disease biomarkers. This gene is one of the fifteen kallikrein subfamily members located in a cluster on chromosome 19. Expression of this gene is regulated by steroid hormones and may be useful as a marker for breast cancer. An additional transcript variant has been identified, but its full length sequence has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
