Human Kallikrein 4: Quantitative Study in Tissues and Evidence for Its Secretion into Biological Fluids
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Human kallikrein 4 (hK4) is a proteolytic enzyme belonging to the tissue kallikrein family of serine proteases. Previous tissue expression studies have demonstrated highest KLK4 mRNA expression in prostatic tissue, but there has been only limited evidence for the presence of hK4 protein in prostate and other tissues and in corresponding biological secretions.
METHODS: To investigate the concentrations of hK4 in tissues and …
